Styphelia woodsii, commonly known as nodding beard-heath,[2] is a species of flowering plant in the heath family Ericaceae and is endemic to southern continental Australia.

It is a slender shrub with more or less erect, egg-shaped leaves, and pendent white, tube-shaped flowers with densely bearded lobes.

Styphelia woodsii is a slender shrub that typically grows to a height of 20–40 cm (7.9–15.7 in), its branchlets greyish-brown and covered with tiny, soft hairs.

[2][3][4] This species was first formally described in 1859 by Ferdinand von Mueller who gave it the name Leucopogon woodsii in his Fragmenta Phytographiae Australiae from specimens collected by Julian Tenison-Woods.

[6] This styphelia grows in shrubland, mallee scrub and heath in deep sand or the crests of sand dunes in the Little Desert and southern Big Desert of western Victoria, in the south-east of South Australia, and in the Avon Wheatbelt, Esperance Plains, Jarrah Forest and Mallee bioregions of southern Western Australia.
