Pentachondra involucrata, the forest frilly-heath, is a small Tasmanian plant in the family Ericaceae.
The specific epithet involucrata is derived from Latin, translated as "wrapper". It refers to the involucral bract, a whorl of bracts below the flower. It first appeared in scientific literature in 1810, in Prodromus Florae Novae Hollandiae, authored by the prolific Scottish botanist, Robert Brown.{{cite web|title=Pentachondra involucrata|url=http://www.anbg.gov.au/cgi-bin/apni?taxon_id=15626|work=Australian National Botanic Gardens|publisher=Australian National Herbarium|accessdate=15 March 2012}}
