• Type: "In Australia occidentali, forsitan ad flumen Murchison" [perhaps at the Murchison River], Western Australia, ?F. Mueller (holo: MEL 70701).

• APC Dist.: WA

• Text: "The identity of this species has long been in doubt. its name was widely misapplied to T. decussata before Green (1985: 6) incorrectly relegated it to synonymy under T. mucronulata, a name that was itself misapplied to T. costata. Finally in 1992, a second collection of true T. johnsonii was made, providing the first indications of the habitat and other aspects of the species' biology. Thryptomene johnsonii is reinstated here."
