Philotheca buxifolia is a species of flowering plant in the family Rutaceae and is endemic to New South Wales.

It is a shrub with more or less oblong leaves and solitary white to pink flowers arranged singly on the ends of branchlets.

Philotheca buxifolia is a shrub that typically grows to a height of 1.3 m (4 ft 3 in) and has branchlets with short, stiff hairs.

[2][3] This species was first formally described in 1809 by James Edward Smith in The Cyclopaedia from specimens "gathered near Port Jackson by Dr White".

[6] The names of the three subspecies are accepted by the Australian Plant Census: Philotheca buxifolia grows in heath on sandstone in coastal areas of New South Wales between Gosford and Ulladulla.
