Description
Leucopogon gilbertii is a slender, glabrous shrub that typically grows to a height of 0.2–1 m (7.9 in – 3 ft 3.4 in). The leaves are linear to lance-shaped tapering to a short, hard point, and up to about 12 mm (0.47 in) long. The flowers are small, arranged in short, dense spikes on the ends of branches or in upper leaf axils with bracts and striated bracteoles about half as long as the sepals. The sepals are hairy, about 1.6 mm (0.063 in) long and the petals white and 3.2 mm (0.13 in) long, the lobes longer than the petal tube.
