Blepharis dhofarensis is a species of plant in the family Acanthaceae.

It is a shrub that grows to around 5m tall and is found in Oman and Yemen.

Blepharis dhofarensis grows on wet escarpment woodlands and it prefers dense thickets on steep slopes.

Recent molecular work has placed it in the genus Acanthus instead of Blepharis.

[3] The long slim branches provided spear shafts and could also be used as kohl sticks.
