Epacris curtisiae

Epacris curtisiae is a species of flowering plant in the heath family Ericaceae and is endemic to north-western Tasmania.

It is a shrub with egg-shaped to almost circular leaves and tube-shaped white flowers crowded in upper leaf axils.

The five sepals are egg-shaped to elliptic, 3–4 mm (0.12–0.16 in) long and tinged with pink and the petals are white, joined at the base to form a white tube 2.5–3.5 mm (0.098–0.138 in) long.

[2][3] Epacris curtisiae was first formally described in 1988 by S. Jean Jarman in the Papers and Proceedings of the Royal Society of Tasmania from specimens collected near the Nelson Bay River in 1985.

[2] This epacris grows in wet heathland at altitudes less than 300 m (980 ft) and is only known from a small rea of north-western Tasmania.
