Styphelia tortifolia

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

The leaves are linear to narrowly oblong and sharply pointed, usually 6.5–8.5 mm (0.26–0.33 in) long with the edges rolled under and often glaucous on the lower surface.

The petals are joined at the base, forming a tube 8.6–10.8 mm (0.34–0.43 in) long with erect lobes with pointed tips and bearded on the inside near the end.

[3][4] However, in 2020 phylogenetic studies by Darren Crayn, Michael Hislop and Caroline Puente-Lelièvre determined that Astroloma needed to be sunk into Styphelia.

[5] Styphelia tortifolia occurs in the Avon Wheatbelt, Geraldton Sandplains, Jarrah Forest and Swan Coastal Plain bioregions of south-western Western Australia.
