Leucopogon simulans

Leucopogon simulans is a species of flowering plant in the heath family Ericaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia.

The flowers are arranged in groups of 4 to 13 on the ends of branches or on short side-branches, with many leaf-like bracts and egg-shaped bracteoles 1.3–2.0 mm (0.051–0.079 in) long.

[2] Leucopogon simulans was first formally described in 2016 by Michael Clyde Hislop in the journal Nuytsia from specimens he collected near South Eneabba Nature Reserve in 2010.

[2] This leucopogon grows in heath and low, open woodland in sandy soil and occurs from the Arrowsmith River to Watheroo National Park in the Avon Wheatbelt, Geraldton Sandplains and Swan Coastal Plain bioregions of south-western Western Australia.

[2][4] Leucopogon simulans is listed as "not threatened" by the Western Australian Government Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions.
