Pityrodia canaliculata is a flowering plant in the mint family Lamiaceae and is endemic to a small area in Western Australia.

[2][3] The flowers are arranged singly or in groups of up to three on scaly stalks 1.5–3 mm (0.06–0.1 in) long in upper leaf axils.

Flowering occurs from June to September and is followed by an oval or pear-shaped fruit 3–4 mm (0.1–0.2 in) long with the sepals attached.

[2][3] Pityrodia canaliculata was first formally described in 1967 by Alex George from a specimen collected west of Sandstone, and the description was published in Journal of the Royal Society of Western Australia.

[5][6] Pityrodia canaliculata is classified as "Priority One" by the Government of Western Australia Department of Parks and Wildlife,[5] meaning that it is known from only one or a few locations which are potentially at risk.
