Pityrodia lepidota is a flowering plant in the mint family Lamiaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia.

The five sepals are 5–6 mm (0.20–0.24 in) long, densely covered with scales on the outside and joined for about half their length to form a tube with five blunt lobes.

Flowering occurs from June to December, sometimes as late as March and is followed by hairy, oval-shaped fruit with the sepals still attached.

[2][3] This species was first formally described in 1883 by Ferdinand von Mueller who gave it the name Chloanthes lepidota and published the description in Southern Science Record.

Its distribution lies within the Avon Wheatbelt, Coolgardie, Great Victoria Desert, Mallee and Murchison biogeographic regions.
