Styphelia coelophylla is a plant in the family Ericaceae endemic to the south west of Western Australia. It is an erect, bushy shrub with egg-shaped to lance-shaped leaves and tube-shaped flowers.
Styphelia coelophylla is an erect, bushy shrub that typically grows to a height of 30–60 cm (12–24 in) and usually has soft hairs on the branches, and parts of the leaves. The leaves are egg-shaped to lance-shaped, 6–12 mm (0.24–0.47 in) long, with a small hard point on the tip and strongly striated on the lower surface. The flowers are usually arranged singly in leaf axils on a very short peduncle with very small, broad bracts less than 1 mm (0.039 in) long. The sepals are about 1 mm (0.039 in) long, and the petals are joined at the base forming a tube that is shorter than the sepals, the lobes longer than the petal tube and bearded on the inside. [2]
This species was first formally described in 1839 by Augustin Pyramus de Candolle who gave it the name Leucopogon coelophyllus in his Prodromus Systematis Naturalis Regni Vegetabilis , from an unpublished desciption by Allan Cunningham. [3] [4] In 2020, Michael Hislop, Darren Crayn and Caroline Puente-Lelievre based on phylogenetic studies, transferred the species to Styphelia as S. coelophylla. [5]
Styphelia coelophylla found in the Avon Wheatbelt, Esperance Plains, Coolgardie, and Mallee Bioregions in the South-west of Western Australia. [6]
