Epacris gnidioides, commonly known as Budawangs cliff-heath,[2] is a species of flowering plant in the heath family Ericaceae and is endemic to a restricted area of New South Wales.

It is a small, creeping shrub with hairy branches, sharply-pointed lance-shaped leaves, and tube-shaped, white flowers.

Epacris gnidioides is a creeping, rhizome-forming shrub with branches up to 50 cm (20 in) long.

[3][4] This species was first formally described in 1927 by Victor Samuel Summerhayes who gave it the name Rupicola gnidioides in the Bulletin of Miscellaneous Information based on specimens collected in 1927 by Frederick A. Rodway near the Ettrema River, south west of Nowra in a "cleft in sandstone cliff".

The main threats to its survival are its narrow distribution, inappropriate fire regimes, and use of sandstone caves for camping.
