Styphelia foliosa, commonly known as candle cranberry, is a species of flowering plant in the family Ericaceae and is endemic to the Perth region of Western Australia. [2]

The species was first formally described in 1845 by German botanist Otto Wilhelm Sonder, who gave it the name Astroloma foliosum in Lehmann's Plantae Preissianae , based on plant material collected by James Drummond at Maddington. [3] [4] In 2020, Michael Hislop, Darren Crayn and Caroline Puente-Lelievre transferred the species to Styphelia as S. foliosa in Australian Systematic Botany . [5] [6]

Styphelia foliosa occurs near Perth in the Jarrah Forest and Swan Coastal Plain bioregions of south-western Western Australia. [2]
