Symonanthus bancroftii, also known as Bancroft's Symonanthus, is a species of flowering plant in the potato family that is endemic to Australia.
The specific epithet bancroftii honours Queensland surgeon Joseph Bancroft for his pharmacological research on Australian plants. [1]
The species grows as an erect shrub to 1 m in height, covered with grey hairs. The oval leaves are 8 mm long and 4.5 mm wide. The flowers are dull yellow-green, with the corolla 5–6 mm long. The fruit is a shiny round red berry 5–10 mm in diameter. [1]
Bancroft's Symonanthus is very rare and known only from a few localities in the south-eastern Wheatbelt region of south-west Western Australia. [1]
The species is listed as Endangered under Australia's EPBC Act. [1]
