Phebalium bullatum, commonly known as silvery phebalium or desert phebalium, is a shrub which is endemic to south-eastern Australia.[1]
The species is found on sandy soils in mallee scrub in South Australia and western Victoria. It grows from 0.5 to 2 metres high and produces clusters of yellow flowers from August to December in Australia (late winter to early summer).
The species was first formally described by botanist John McConnell Black in Transactions and Proceedings of the Royal Society of South Australia, published in 1916.[2]
