Ricinocarpos trichophyllus is a slender, open shrub of the spurge family, endemic to north-western Australia, found in dry shrubland and woodland. It is a wild species rarely grown in gardens, so care is mostly drawn from its natural habitat.
Ricinocarpos trichophyllus is a species of flowering plant in the family Euphorbiaceae and is endemic to north-western Australia. It is an open, slender, monoecious shrub with linear to narrowly oblong leaves, and flowers in a raceme with one female flower surrounded by two or three male flowers.
This species grows in shrubland and woodland in the Drysdale River National Park in the Kimberley region of Western Australia and in the Moyle and Victoria River regions of the Northern Territory.
