Pityrodia salvifolia is a flowering plant in the mint family Lamiaceae and is endemic to Queensland.

It is an erect, spreading shrub with aromatic, wrinkled or corrugated leaves and clusters of small flowers with white petals.

Pityrodia salvifolia is an erect, spreading shrub which usually grows to a height of 2.5 m (8 ft) and which has its branches and leaves densely covered with silvery, shield-shaped scales.

The flowers are arranged in clusters of between five and ten in upper leaf axils and are almost stalkless, surrounded by scaly, leaf-like bracts 3–5 mm (0.1–0.2 in) long and smaller bracteoles.

[2][3] Pityrodia salvifolia was first formally described in 1810 by Robert Brown and the description was published in the Prodromus Florae Novae Hollandiae et Insulae Van Diemen.
