Leucopogon rodwayi

Leucopogon rodwayi is an erect to spreading shrub that typically grows to a height of 25–80 cm (9.8–31.5 in), its young branchlets covered with a few soft hairs. The leaves are narrowly egg-shaped to elliptic, 3.8–10.5 mm (0.15–0.41 in) long and 0.9–1.9 mm (0.035–0.075 in) wide on a petiole up to 1 mm (0.039 in) long. Both sides of the leaves are glabrous, the edges are turned down, and there are a few small teeth on the edges. The flowers are borne in spikes of 6 to 15 up to 8 mm (0.31 in) long in leaf axils with bracteoles 0.8–1 mm (0.031–0.039 in) long at the base. The sepals are 1.0–1.35 mm (0.039–0.053 in) long, the petals white and joined at the base, forming a tube 0.6–0.8 mm (0.024–0.031 in) long, the lobes 0.6–0.9 mm (0.024–0.035 in) long. Flowering occurs from February to October, with a peak in August and September, and the fruit is about 2.3 mm (0.091 in) long and glabrous.

Leucopogon rodwayi grows in sand in coastal heath on ridges and rock platforms from Broadwater to Myall Lakes and at Jervis Bay in eastern New South Wales.
