Description
Leucopogon reflexus is an erect shrub that typically grows to a height of 30–70 cm (12–28 in) and has thin, wand-like branches and hairy young branchlets. Its leaves are usually down-turned, egg-shaped to lance-shaped, and 2–4 mm (0.079–0.157 in) long. The flowers are borne in leaf axils and on the ends of branches in short, dense spikes. There are small bracts, and bracteoles about as long as the sepals. The sepals are lance-shaped, about 3 mm (0.12 in) long, the petals white and joined at the base, forming a tube shorter than the sepals, the lobes about 2 mm (0.079 in) long. Flowering occurs from July to November.
Range & habitat
Heart-leaf beard-heath grows on coastal dunes, granite outcrops and winter-wet areas in the Esperance Plains, Jarrah Forest, Swan Coastal Plain and Warren bioregions of south-western Western Australia.
