Darwinia taxifolia is a species of flowering plant in the myrtle family Myrtaceae and is endemic to New South Wales.

Darwinia taxifolia is an erect or low-lying shrub that typically grows to a height of up to 1 m (3 ft 3 in).

The flowers are arranged in clusters of 2 to 4, rarely up to 6, the clusters on a peduncle about 1 mm (0.039 in) long surrounded by rough, leaf-like bracts and pink or purplish bracteoles 3–8 mm (0.12–0.31 in) long.

[2] Darwinia taxifolia was first formally described in 1825 by Allan Cunningham in Geographical Memoirs on New South Wales, based on plant material collected from rocky areas of the Blue Mountains.

[5] In 1962, Barbara G. Briggs described three subspecies in Contributions from the New South Wales National Herbarium, and the names of two are accepted by the Australian Plant Census: Subspecies macrolaena grows in heath and is found from the Blue Mountains to Nerriga and Tomerong in south-eastern New South Wales,[7] and subspecies taxifolia is restricted to heath on elevated sites in the Blue Mountains.
