Verticordia picta, commonly known as painted featherflower or china cups, is a flowering plant in the myrtle family, Myrtaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia.

Stephan Endlicher published the description in 1838, using a collection that was gathered by John Septimus Roe at an unknown location.

[2] The specific epithet (picta) is a Latin word meaning "painted" or "coloured",[3] possibly referring to spots that appear on dried specimens.

[1] When Alex George reviewed the genus in 1991, he placed this species in subgenus Eperephes, section Integripetala along with V. rennieana, V. interioris, V. mirabilis and V.

Once established it will live for around ten years as a small shrub with a profuse display of flowers over a long season.
