Tetratheca aphylla, also known as the Bungalbin Tetratheca, is a species of flowering plant in the quandong family that is endemic to Australia.
The species grows as an erect, spreading, leafless shrub to 60 cm in height. The flowers are pink or pink-purple, appearing from September to October. [2]
The range of the species lies within the Coolgardie and Mallee IBRA bioregions of south-west Western Australia, where it occurs in the Helena Aurora Range, 50 km north-north-east of Koolyanobbing, and 80 km east of Newdegate. The plants grow in pockets of skeletal soil among banded iron formations, rock outcrops and debris, in shrubland. [2] [1]
The species is listed as Vulnerable under Australia's EPBC Act. The main potential threats are mining activities, inappropriate fire regimes and roadworks. [1]
