Beyeria lechenaultii (common name - pale turpentine bush) is a species of dioecious (rarely monoecious)[2] flowering plant in the spurge family, Euphorbiaceae, that is endemic to Australia.[3]
It was first described in 1817 by Augustin Pyramus de Candolle as Hemistemma lechenaultii, using a specimen collected on St Francis Island, South Australia[4] but in 1866 Henri Ernest Baillon assigned the species to the genus, Beyeria.[1][5] The specific epithet, lechenaultii, honours the French botanist, Jean-Baptiste Leschenault de La Tour.[4]
