Pimelea umbratica, is a species of flowering plant in the family Thymelaeaceae and is endemic to eastern Australia.

It is a shrub with densely hairy young stems, narrowly elliptic or more or less oblong leaves, and white flowers arranged singly, or in small groups, in leaf axils.

Pimelea umbratica is a shrub that typically grows to a height of 0.6–1.5 m (2 ft 0 in – 4 ft 11 in), is densely branched, and has its young stems densely covered with soft, brownish hairs.

The flowers are white, 12–14 mm (0.47–0.55 in) long, arranged singly or in small groups on the ends of branches or in leaf axils, and are bisexual or female.

[2][3] Pimelea umbratica was first formally described in 1857 by Carl Meissner in de Candolle's Prodromus Systematis Naturalis Regni Vegetabilis from an unpublished description by Allan Cunningham of plants he collected near Moreton Bay.
