Pimelea spectabilis, or Bunjong, is a species of shrub in the family Thymelaeaceae, endemic to Western Australia.[2] It is erect in habit, growing to between 0.5 and 2 metres high.[2] The pink and white flowers are produced between August and December in its native range.[2]

The species was first formally described by English botanist John Lindley in 1839 in A sketch of the vegetation of the Swan River colony.[1]
