Verticordia lepidophylla is a species of flowering plant in the myrtle family, Myrtaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia.

Verticordia lepidophylla is a shrub which grows to a height of 2 m (7 ft) usually with one highly branched main stem.

[2] Verticordia lepidophylla was first formally described by Ferdinand von Mueller in 1857 and the description was published in Fragmenta phytographiae Australiae.

[2] Alex George undertook a review of the genus Verticordia in 1991 and described two varieties of this species:[4] George placed this species in subgenus Eperephes, section Pennuligera along with V. comosa, V. chrysostachys, V. aereiflora, V. dichroma, V. x eurardyensis, V. muelleriana, V. argentea, V. albida, V. fragrans, V. venusta, V. forrestii, V. serotina, V. oculata, V. etheliana and V.

[7] Variety quantula is classified as "Priority One" by the Western Australian Government Department of Parks and Wildlife[8] meaning that it is known from only one or a few locations which are potentially at risk.
