Description
Leucopogon lasiophyllus is an erect shrub that typically grows to a height of 0.3–1 m (1 ft 0 in – 3 ft 3 in) and has its branches and foliage covered with short, rigid hairs. The leaves are linear to lance-shaped with a blunt tip, 4–9 mm (0.16–0.35 in) long and prominently ribbed. The flowers are arranged in small, short, dense spike on the ends of branches or in upper leaf axils with leaf-like bracts and tapering bracteoles about half as long as the sepals. The sepals are softly hairy, 2.6–3.1 mm (0.10–0.12 in) long and the petals white and 4.2 mm (0.17 in) long, the lobes about the same length as the petal tube.
