Commersonia salviifolia is a species of flowering plant in the family Malvaceae and endemic to eastern Australia.

Flowering occurs from July to November and the fruit is a spherical capsule 5–9.5 mm (0.20–0.37 in) in diameter and covered with star-shaped hairs and dense bristles.

[2][3] This species was first formally described in 1846 by Joachim Steetz who gave it the name Thomasia salviifolia in Lehmann's Plantae Preissianae from an unpublished description by William Jackson Hooker of specimens collected from Moreton Bay.

[4][5] In 1882, Ferdinand von Mueller transferred the species to Commersonia as C. salviifolia in his Systematic Census of Australian Plants.

[7] Commersonia salviifolia grows on mountain tops, near cliffs or on rock outcrops in open forest, shrubland or heath, usually at higher altitudes from near Buderim in south-eastern Queensland to Mount Warning in far north-eastern New South Wales.
