Xanthorrhoea resinosa (synonyms X. hastilis, X. resinifera[1]), is known as one of the grass trees, a mid-sized plant in the genus Xanthorrhoea.

[2] The specific epithet is from the Latin, meaning “having resin”.

[3] This perennial shrub is found in heathland or eucalyptus forest.

Flowering occurs between August and October.

The flowering spike is shorter than the scape, and is particularly furry, due to the felty bracts.
