Meeboldina coangustata(Nees) B.G.Briggs & L.A.S.Johnson

Leptocarpus coangustatus is a species of plant in the Restionaceae (rush) family, endemic to Western Australia. [1]

It was first described by Christian Gottfried Daniel Nees von Esenbeck in 1846, from plants collected by J.A.L. Preiss (in the Darling Ranges) and James Drummond (on the Swan River). [2] [3] In 1998 Barbara Briggs and Lawrie Johnson transferred the species to the genus, Meeboldina , to give the species name, Meeboldina coangustata. [4] [5] However in 2014, the genus Leptocarpus was expanded to include Meeboldina [6] and by 2021 the later name was no longer accepted. [1] [2]
