Dillwynia phylicoides is a plant in the pea family, Fabaceae, that is native to Australia. The species is a prostrate or erect shrub up to 1.5 metres in height. The small, twisted, linear leaves are 3-8 mm long. The "pea" flowers appear in terminal clusters of 1 to 8 flowers in spring. These are followed by 5-7 mm long pods with smooth seed. The species was formally described by botanist Allan Cunningham in 1825 based on plant material collected from hills near Bathurst, New South Wales.
