Duboisia hopwoodii is a shrub native to the arid interior region of Australia.

[1] The species has an erect habit, usually growing to between 1 and 3 metres in height, with long, narrow leaves.

[3] These appear between June and November in the species' native range followed by purple-black, rounded berries which are 3 to 6 mm in diameter.

[4] Indigenous Australians mix the dried leaves of a small population of D. hopwoodii growing around the Mulligan River with wood ash to make a variety of pituri, the traditional Aboriginal chewing mixture.

[7] The species was first formally described by botanist Ferdinand von Mueller in 1861 in Fragmenta phytographiae Australiae and given the name Anthocercis hopwoodii.
