Cryptandra spyridioides is a species of flowering plant in the family Rhamnaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It is a shrub that typically grows to a height of 10–80 cm (3.9–31.5 in) and has green and creamy-white to pink flowers from May to August.[2] It was first formally described in 1862 by Ferdinand von Mueller in his Fragmenta Phytographiae Australiae.[3][4] The specific epithet (spyridioides) means "sweeper", hence "Spyridium-like".[5]
This cryptandra grows in sandy and gravelly soils in the Avon Wheatbelt, Coolgardie, Esperance Plains, Geraldton Sandplains, Jarrah Forest and Mallee bioregions of south-western Western Australia.[2] It is listed as "not threatened" by the Government of Western Australia Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions.[2]
