Excoecaria parvifolia is a plant in the Euphorbiaceae family, native to Western Australia, the Northern Territory, and Queensland[1][2] It was first described by Johannes Müller Argoviensis in 1864, from a specimen collected by Ferdinand von Mueller in Arnhem Land.[3][4] It is found across northern Australia, from northern Western Australia, the north of the Northern Territory, to northern Queensland,[2] growing on seasonally waterlogged clay flats, and occasionally on semi-saline soils.[5] It flowers in the early wet season with fruits appearing from January to April.[5]
