Styphelia pubescens is a species of flowering plant in the heath family Ericaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. [2] The species was first formally described in 1920 by Spencer Le Marchant Moore who gave it the name Leucopogon pubescens in the Journal of the Linnean Society, Botany , from specimens collected by Frederick Stoward near Ongerup. [3] [4] In 2020, Michael Hislop, Darren Crayn and Caroline Puente-Lelievre transferred the species to Styphelia as S. pubescens in Australian Systematic Botany . [1] The specific epithet (pubescens) means "covered with soft, fine hairs". [5] Styphelia pubescens is found in the Avon Wheatbelt, Geraldton Sandplains, Jarrah Forest and Swan Coastal Plain bioregions of south-western Western Australia and is listed as "not threatened" by the Western Australian Government Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions.
