Description
Leucopogon glabellus is an erect or straggly shrub that typically grows to a height of 0.1–1 m (3.9 in – 3 ft 3.4 in) and has slender branchlets. Its leaves are heart-shaped to lance-shaped and 2–4 mm (0.079–0.157 in) long, narrower leaves sometimes to 6 mm (0.24 in) long. The flowers are arranged in cylindrical, many-flowered spikes on the ends of branches with small, leaf-like bracts and bracteoles less than half as long as the sepals. The sepals are less than 2 mm (0.079 in) long and the petals white and about 3 mm (0.12 in) long, forming a tube with lobes longer than the petal tube.
Range & habitat
This leucopogon grows in winter-wet places, on granite outcrops and on hills and is widespread in the Avon Wheatbelt, Esperance Plains, Jarrah Forest, Mallee, Swan Coastal Plain and Warren bioregions of south-western Western Australia.
