Hypocalymma myrtifolium is a member of the family Myrtaceae endemic to Western Australia.[1]

The erect shrub typically grows to a height of 0.3 to 0.6 metres (1.0 to 2.0 ft) and as high as 1.5 metres (5 ft). It blooms between July and November producing cream-white flowers.

It is found in a small area on steep rocky slopes in the Great southern region of Western Australia centred around Gnowangerup where it grows in peaty-sandy soils over quartzite.[1]
