Homoranthus virgatus commonly known as twiggy homoranthus,[2] is a species of flowering plant in the family Myrtaceae and is found growing in coastal areas of northern New South Wales and in Queensland.

The small, upturned, creamy-white to pink flowers are borne in pairs or fours at the end of branches in the upper leaf axils on a peduncle about 1 mm (0.039 in) long.

[4][5][6] Homoranthus virgatus was first formally described in 1843 by Johannes Conrad Schauer from an unpublished description by Allan Cunningham and the description was published in Monographia Myrtacearum Xerocarpicarum.

[7][8] The specific epithet (virgatus) is a Latin word meaning "of twigs" or "rodlike".

[9] Twiggy homoranthus grows in semi-shaded or open situations from Byfield and south to Laurieton within 20 km of the coastline.
