Phebalium nottii, the pink phebalium, is a shrub which is native to Queensland and New South Wales in Australia. It grows to between 1 and 3 metres in height and produces pink flowers in the spring.[2] The stamens, which have bright yellow anthers, are distinctively offset to one side of the flower.[3] The species was first formally described and named as Eriostemon nottii by Ferdinand von Mueller in Fragmenta Phytographiae Australiae in 1868. It was reclassified under the genus Phebalium in 1898 by Joseph Maiden and Ernst Betche.
