Thryptomene podantha is a species of flowering plant in the family Myrtaceae and is endemic to the west of Western Australia.
It is a shrub with egg-shaped leaves with the narrower end towards the base, and flowers with pink sepals and petals and ten stamens.
[2] Thryptomene podantha was first formally described in 2014 by Barbara Lynette Rye and Malcolm Eric Trudgen in the journal Nuytsia from specimens collected by Donald Bruce Foreman near Yuna in 1984.
[2][3] The specific epithet (podantha) means "foot-flowered", referring to the pedicillate flowers and fruit.
[2][4] Thryptomene podantha is classified as "not threatened" by the Government of Western Australia Department of Parks and Wildlife.
