Styphelia pentapogona

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

It is a diffuse shrub with many erect or ascending branchlets, crowded egg-shaped or lance-shaped leaves about 2.0–2.5 mm (0.079–0.098 in) long, with a small point on the tip.

The flowers are borne in lower leaf axils and are sessile with very small bracts and bracteoles less than 2 mm (0.079 in) long at the base.

[2] Styphelia pentapogona was first formally described in 1867 by Ferdinand von Mueller in his Fragmenta phytographiae Australiae from specimens collected by George Maxwell.

[3][4] This styphelia is found in the Esperance Plains and Mallee bioregions of south-western Western Australia and is listed as "not threatened".
