Kunzea phylicoides, commonly known as the slender burgan,[2] is a flowering plant in the myrtle family, Myrtaceae and is endemic to south-eastern Australia.

It is an erect shrub with drooping branches, fibrous or corky bark, bright green, narrow leaves and clusters of white flowers in spring.

Kunzea phylicoides is a graceful, erect shrub which typically grows to a height of 3 m (10 ft) and has drooping branches and fibrous or corky bark.

[2] Slender burgan was first formally described in 1843 by Johannes Conrad Schauer after an unpublished description by Allan Cunningham who gave it the name Baeckea phylicoides.

[6] Kunzea phylicoides grows along the Snowy River and its tributaries in New South Wales, the Australian Capital Territory and Victoria.
