Epacris tasmanica is a species of flowering plant in the heath family Ericaceae and is endemic to Tasmania. It is an erect shrub with lance-shaped leaves and tube-shaped white flowers crowded in upper leaf axils.
Epacris tasmanica is an erect, sometimes bushy shrub that grows to a height of up to but typically less than, and has few branches, the stems and branchlets hairy when young. Its leaves are spreading, lance-shaped, long, wide and sharply pointed, on a petiole less than long. The flowers are clustered near the ends of branches on pedicels long with creamy-white bracts at the base. The sepals are about long, lance-shaped and about the same length as the petal tube. The petal tube is bell-shaped, long with lobes long.[1]
Epacris tasmanica was first formally described in 1969 by Winifred Curtis in the journal Taxon.[2]
This epacris is endemic to Tasmania where it is common and widespread in the east of the state, where it grows in stony soil at low altitudes.[3]
