Verticordia decussata is a flowering plant in the myrtle family, Myrtaceae and is endemic to an area in the north of the Northern Territory.

It is an open shrub with distinctive leaves and leaf arrangement and small spikes of cream to white flowers on the ends of the branches.

[2][3][4] The flowers are faintly scented and arranged in small groups in leaf axils on stalks 0.5–1.0 mm (0.02–0.04 in) long.

[2] When Alex George reviewed the genus Verticordia in 1991, he placed this species in subgenus Eperephes, section Tropica along with V. cunninghamii and V.

It usually grows in sandy soils on or near sandstone escarpments in scattered locations between Katherine and western Arnhem Land and including Kakadu National Park.
