Thryptomene cuspidata is a species of flowering plant in the family Myrtaceae and is endemic to Western Australia. It is a dense erect shrub that typically grows to a height of 0.6–2.2 m (2 ft 0 in – 7 ft 3 in) and blooms between July and November producing white or pink flowers.[2]

The species was first formally described in 1852 by Nikolai Turczaninow and given the name Paryphantha cuspidata in the Bulletin de la classe physico-mathematique de l’Academie Imperiale des sciences de Saint-Petersburg.[3][4] In 1985, John Green changed the name to Thryptomene cuspidata.[5]

Thryptomene cuspidata is found on plains and among granite outcrops in the Avon Wheatbelt, Coolgardie, Geraldton Sandplains and Mallee biogeographic regions in the south-west of Western Australia where it grows in sandy to gravelly soils.[2]
