Polygala linariifolia is a species of flowering plant in the milkwort family (Polygalaceae). It extends worldwide, including in the Australian states of New South Wales, Queensland, Northern Territory and Western Australia, however due to obscure taxonomic classifications and similarities and cross-overs between other Polygala species, it is difficult to confirm the exact identity of P. linariifolia and its distribution across the world including Australia.
P. linariifolia is known to exist worldwide in countries such as China, Philippines, Thailand, India, New Guinea and Cambodia, in addition to Australia, which it is known to occur across four Australian states/territories, those including New South Wales (NSW), Queensland (QLD), Northern Territory (NT) and Western Australia (WA). Within NSW, P. linariifolia is generally found within dry sclerophyll communities in the NE of the state in areas surrounding Copeton Dam and Warialda, even stretching up into the NSW north coast in areas such as Casino and Kyogle. Populations are also known to occur in far west NSW, west of Hungerford. These occurrences align with the following NSW botanical subregions: North Coast; North Western Slopes; North Western Plains; and North Far Western Plains.
