Sprengelia incarnata

Sprengelia incarnata, commonly referred to as pink swamp-heath,[2] is a species of flowering plant of the family Ericaceae, and is native to south-eastern Australia and New Zealand.

It is an erect, glabrous shrub with sharply-pointed, stem-clasping, egg-shaped leaves, and clusters of pink, tube-shaped flowers with spreading lobes.

[6] Sprengelia incarnata was first formally described in 1794 by James Edward Smith in Kongliga Vetenskaps Academiens Nya Handlingar.

Pink swamp-heath is widespread and abundant in Tasmania, where is it found in almost all wet and peaty landscapes, ranging from sea level to the highest mountains.

It is considered at high risk and naturally uncommon in New Zealand, where it is only found in the Fiordland National Park and on Resolution Island.
