Allocasuarina drummondiana is a dioecious, intricately branched shrub from south-western Western Australia, growing 0.5 to 3 m tall in tall heath. It is a native Australian plant rarely grown outside its range, so care is best matched to its dry, sandy, sunny native habitat.
Allocasuarina drummondiana is a species of flowering plant in the family Casuarinaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia.
