Description
Leucopogon tamariscinus is an erect, sparsely-branched shrub that typically grows to 30–70 cm (12–28 in) high and has wand-like branches. The leaves are egg-shaped or lance-shaped, 4–6 mm (0.16–0.24 in) long, and almost stem-clasping. The flowers are borne on the ends of branches in many-flowered, cylindrical spikes 12–25 mm (0.47–0.98 in) long. There are small, leaf-like bracts and broad bracteoles less than half as long as the sepals. The sepals are less than 2 mm (0.079 in) long, and the petals are white, 2.6–3.2 mm (0.10–0.13 in) long and joined at the base forming a tube with lobes about the same length as the petal tube. Flowering mainly occurs from July to December.
