ledifolia (Klotzsch) Grüning Beyeria lechenaultii f. myrtoides Baill.

Calyptrostigma ledifolium Klotzsch Beyeria lechenaultii (common name - pale turpentine bush) is a species of dioecious (rarely monoecious)[2] flowering plant in the spurge family, Euphorbiaceae, that is endemic to Australia.

[3] It was first described in 1817 by Augustin Pyramus de Candolle as Hemistemma lechenaultii, using a specimen collected on St Francis Island, South Australia[4] but in 1866 Henri Ernest Baillon assigned the species to the genus, Beyeria.

[1][5] The specific epithet, lechenaultii, honours the French botanist, Jean-Baptiste Leschenault de La Tour.

[4] Beyeria lechenaultii is a sticky shrub which grows up to 1.5 m (4.9 ft) high.

The male flowers are found in groups of one to three, on a sticky stalk which is 1–6 mm (0.04–0.24 in) long.

The female flowers are solitary on whitish stalks which lengthen when in fruit.

The stigma has 3 broad recurved (curved backwards) lobes at its base.

[3] The Noongar people of southwest Western Australia drank decoctions of the leaves to treat tuberculosis and fevers.
