Phebalium glandulosum, commonly known as glandular phebalium or desert phebalium, is a shrub species that is native to eastern Australia. It grows to between 0.5 and 2.5 metres in height and produces clusters of starry yellow flowers in the spring. The species was first formally described by English botanist William Jackson Hooker in Thomas Mitchell's Journal of an Expedition into the Interior of Tropical Australia in 1848. The type specimen was collected by Mitchell's expedition near the Maranoa River in Queensland.

Subspecies include:

  • P. glandulosum subsp. angustifolium Paul G.Wilson
  • P. glandulosum subsp. eglandulosum (Blakely) Paul G.Wilson
  • P. glandulosum Hook. subsp. glandulosum
  • P. glandulosum subsp. macrocalyx R.L.Giles
  • P. glandulosum subsp. nitidum Paul G.Wilson
  • Phebalium bullatum has been treated as a subspecies in the past.

    Phebalium glandulosum occurs in the states of Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria and South Australia.
