Thryptomene racemulosa is a species of flowering plant in the family Myrtaceae and is endemic to Western Australia. It is a shrub that typically grows to a height of 0.3 to 1.5 metres (1 to 5 ft) and blooms between July and October producing pink-white flowers.[2] It is found on sand plains and low ridges in the Mid West and Wheatbelt regions of Western Australia where it grows in gravelly sandy soils.[2] It was first formally described in 1847 by Nikolai Turczaninow in the Bulletin de la Societe Imperiale des Naturalistes de Moscou from specimens collected by James Drummond.[3][4] The specific epithet (racemulosa) means "small raceme".[5]
