Styphelia epacridis is a flowering plant in the family Ericaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia.
It is a straggling shrub with lance-shaped or linear leaves with a sharp point on the tip, and red, tube-shaped flowers arranged singly in leaf axils.
The leaves are lance-shaped or linear, up to about 6 mm (0.24 in) long, with the edges rolled under and a sharp, rigid point on the tip.
[2] This species was first described in 1839 by Augustin Pyramus de Candolle who gave it the name Leucopogon epacridis in his Prodromus Systematis Naturalis Regni Vegetabilis from specimens collected by James Drummond near the Swan River Colony.
[5][6] Styphelia epacridis is found in the Avon Wheatbelt, Coolgardie, Esperance Plains, Jarrah Forest, Mallee and Warren bioregions of south-western Western Australia.
