Tetratheca efoliata is a small, leafless, tangled shrub from south-west Western Australia, grown for its pink-purple or white flowers. It needs full sun and very well-drained sandy soil, and it is best treated as a specialist plant rather than an easy garden shrub.
Tetratheca efoliata is a species of flowering plant in the quandong family that is endemic to Australia.
The range of the species lies within the Avon Wheatbelt, Coolgardie, Esperance Plains and Mallee IBRA bioregions of south-west Western Australia. The plants grow on sandplains on yellow sand and lateritic soils.
