Calytrix leschenaultii is a species of shrub in the family Myrtaceae, endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. The species usually grows to between 0.15 and 1 metre high.[2] The flowers are purple with a white or yellow centre and appear between June and November in the species native range.[2][3]
It was first formally described by Johannes Conrad Schauer in 1844 in Plantae Preissianae. He gave it the name Calycothrix leschenaultii. In 1867 George Bentham transferred the species to the genus Calytrix.[1]
