Isotoma petraea, commonly known as Woodbridge Poison, is a small herbaceous plant in the family Campanulaceae native to Western Australia.[1]

The erect, spreading, annual or perennial herb typically grows to a height of 0.2 to 0.6 metres (0.7 to 2.0 ft). It blooms between February and November producing blue-purple flowers.

It is found on breaways, among rocky outcrops and in rock crevices in the Mid West, Wheatbelt and Goldfields-Esperance regions of Western Australia where it grows in shallow sandy soils over granite.[1]
