About

Ptilotus caespitulosus, commonly known as salt lake mulla-mulla, was a species of flowering plant in the family Amaranthaceae and was endemic to Western Australia. It was a prostrate perennial herb with spikes of pink flowers.

The specific epithet (caespitulosus) means 'many small tufts', referring to the lower leaves.
