Thomasia grandiflora, commonly known as large-flowered thomasia, is a small shrub which is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia.[1]
It grows to between 0.15 and 1 metre in height.[1] Pink to purple flowers are produced between July and November in its native range.[1]
The species was first formally described by botanist John Lindley in A sketch of the vegetation of the Swan River Colony in 1839.[2]
