Philotheca sporadica, commonly known as Kogan waxflower,[2] is a species of flowering plant in the family Rutaceae and is endemic to south-eastern Queensland.

Philotheca sporadica is a shrub that grows to a height of about 1 m (3 ft 3 in) and has sparsely glandular-warty branchlets.

There are five broadly triangular sepals and five elliptic white petals about 6 mm (0.24 in) long with a pink midrib.

[3][4] This philotheca was first formally described in 1942 by Michael J. Bayly who gave it the name Eriostemon sporadicus and published the description in the journal Australian Systematic Botany.

[6][7] Philotheca sporadica grows in woodland and shrubland on shallow soil from near Kogan to Tara in the Darling Downs region of Queensland.
