Blennospora phlegmatocarpa is a herb species in the family Asteraceae. It is found in Western Australia.[4][3]
It is an erect annual growing from 2 to 5 cm high, which forms dense carpets, on saline flats in sandy soils. Its yellow flowers are seen from September to October.[4]
The species was first described in 1905 as Calocephalus phlegmatocarpus by Ludwig Diels,[1][5] but was assigned to the genus, Blennospora by Philip Short in 1981.[2]
