Comesperma calymega, commonly known as blue-spike milkwort, is a slender herb in the family Polygalaceae.[3] It is a perennial herb growing to between 10 cm and 50 cm high,[3] from a short woody rhizome.[4]

The species occurs in the states of South Australia, Tasmania, Victoria, and Western Australia.[2]
