Asterolasia squamuligera, commonly known as yellow starbush,[2] is a species of erect, woody, slender perennial shrub that is endemic to the southwest of Western Australia.

Asterolasia squamuligera is slender, woody, perennial shrub that typically grows to a height of about 50 cm (20 in).

The leaves are leathery, egg-shaped with the narrower end towards the base, 10–20 mm (0.39–0.79 in) long and glabrous or with a few star-shaped hairs.

[2][3] This species was first formally described in 1848 by William Jackson Hooker who gave it the name Phebalium squamuligerum and published the description in Icones Plantarum from specimens collected by James Drummond.

[6][7] This species grows on laterite on hilltops and flats from near Augusta east to Lake Grace and from Beverley south to Mount Barker.
