Kardomia odontocalyx is a flowering plant in the myrtle family found in northern New South Wales and Queensland, Australia. It grows as a shrub up to about 2 meters tall. The leaves are narrow and only a few millimeters long. The plant bears single white flowers, with small petals and a corolla up to about 8 millimeters wide. The fruit is a small capsule about 3 millimeters in diameter. It was first described in 1997 as Babingtonia odontocalyx by A. R. Bean, and was renamed Kardomia odontocalyx in 2007 by Peter G. Wilson. The name odontocalyx means "toothed calyx." This species has a restricted distribution on granite hills and in heath and sclerophyll scrub, mainly near Torrington and Emmaville in NSW and in parts of Queensland.
