Acrotriche leucocarpa

Acrotriche leucocarpa is a species of flowering plant in the family Ericaceae and is endemic to south-eastern continental Australia.

It is an erect, bushy shrub with sharply-pointed lance-shaped leaves and spikes of 3 to 5 green, tube-shaped flowers and spherical to oval, translucent white drupes.

Flowering occurs between May and October and the fruit is an oval or spherical, translucent, pearly white drupe 3–5 mm (0.12–0.20 in) in diameter.

[4][5] The specific epithet (leucocarpa) means 'white fruit' and alludes to the characteristic white drupe of this species.
