Baeckea imbricata, commonly known as heath myrtle,[2] is a species of flowering plant in the family Myrtaceae and is endemic to eastern Australia.

It is a shrub with elliptical to egg-shaped or round leaves and small white flowers with five to twelve stamens.

[2][3] Heath myrtle was first formally described in 1788 by Joseph Gaertner who gave it the name Jungia imbricata in De Fructibus et Seminibus Plantarum.

[4][5] In 1917, George Claridge Druce changed the name to Baeckea imbricata in the supplement to The Botanical Exchange Club and Society of the British Isles Report for 1916.

[8] Baeckea imbricata grows in heathland in swampy places in near-coastal areas and on adjacent ranges from Cooloola National Park in south-eastern Queensland to Bawley Point in south-eastern New South Wales.
