Tetratheca fasciculata, also known as Cronin's Tetratheca, is an extinct species of plant in the quandong family that was endemic to Australia.
The species grew as a compact shrub less than 20 cm in height. The flowers were pink. [3]
The plant was collected only twice, in the late 19th century, from the Wagin area about 230 km south-east of Perth, in the Avon Wheatbelt IBRA bioregion of south-west Western Australia. [3] [1]
