Cheyniana microphylla (common name bush pomegranate) is a plant in the family Myrtaceae which is endemic to Western Australia.[3]

It was first described in 1928 by Charles Gardner as Balaustion microphyllum,[4][5] but was redescribed in 2009 by Barbara Rye as Cheyniana microphylla, when she narrowed the circumscription of Balaustion and described the new genus, Cheyniana.[2][1]

Conservation status

It is considered to be "not threatened".[3]
