Leucopogon crassifolius Sond.

Styphelia crassifolia is a plant in the family Ericaceae native to Western Australia. [1] It was first described in 1845 as Leucopogon crassifolius by Otto Wilhelm Sonder. [3] [4] In 1867 Ferdinand von Mueller transferred it to the genus, Styphelia , [2] but the accepted name continued to be Leucopogon crassifolius. [3] However, in 2020, with a publication concerning the phylogeny of Styphelia by Crayn and others, [5] the name Styphelia crassifolia was accepted by the Herbarium of Western Australia. [1] [6] (The Council of Heads of Australasian Herbaria still (May 2020) lists Leucopogon crassifolius as the accepted name.) [3]

Leucopogon is a genus of about 150-160 species of shrubs or small trees in the family Ericaceae, in the section of that family formerly treated as the separate family Epacridaceae. They are native to Australia, New Zealand, New Caledonia, the western Pacific Islands and Malaysia, with the greatest species diversity in southeastern Australia. Plants in this genus have leaves with a few more or less parallel veins, and tube-shaped flowers usually with a white beard inside.
