Spyridium majoranifolium is a species of flowering plant in the family Rhamnaceae and is endemic to the south of Western Australia. It is a shrub that typically grows to a height of 0.1–1.6 m (3.9 in–5 ft 3.0 in) and has white to cream-coloured or yellow flowers from February to October. It grows on coastal dunes and stony hillsides in near-coastal areas in the Esperance Plains, Jarrah Forest and Warren bioregions of southern Western Australia.[2]
This spyridium was first formally described in 1837 by Eduard Fenzl who gave it the name Trymalium majoranifolium in Enumeratio plantarum quas in Novae Hollandiae ora austro-occidentali ad fluvium Cygnorum et in sinu Regis Georgii collegit Carolus Liber Baro de Hügel from specimens collected by Ferdinand Bauer.[3][4] In 1995, Barbara Lynette Rye changed the name to Spyridium majoranifolium in the journal Nuytsia.[5][6] The specific epithet (majoranifolium) means "marjoram-leaved".[7]
