Comesperma scoparium, commonly known as broom milkwort, is a small broom-like shrub of the family Polygalaceae.[2] It usually grows to between 0.3 and 1.2 metres high and produces blue flowers between February and November in its native range.[2]
The species was first formally described by James Drummond in The Journal of Botany in 1840 and given the name Comesperma scoparia,[3] which was later amended to the current name.[1]
