Comesperma virgatum, commonly known as milkwort, is a herb in the family Polygalaceae.[3] It is an erect slender herb growing to between 30 cm and 1.6 m high, on sandy and lateritic soils, and sometimes in swampy conditions. Its pink to purple flowers may be seen from September to December or January to March.[3]
The species was first formally described by French botanist Jacques Labillardière in Novae Hollandiae Plantarum Specimen in 1806, from a specimen collected in Van Leuwin's Land.[1][4]
The species occurs in Western Australia.[2]
