Epacris marginata

Epacris marginata is a species of flowering plant in the heath family Ericaceae and is endemic to Tasmania. It is an erect shrub with overlapping, bluish, sharply-pointed, egg-shaped to lance-shaped leaves with transparent edges and white, tube-shaped flowers, the petals with lobes 3–5 mm (0.12–0.20 in) long and 2.5–3.0 mm (0.098–0.118 in) wide.
