Leucopogon glabellus is a species of flowering plant in the family Ericaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It is an erect, glabrous shrub with slender branchlets, heart-shaped to lance-shaped leaves, and cylindrical spikes of white flowers.
Leucopogon glabellus is an erect or straggly shrub that typically grows to a height of and has slender branchlets. Its leaves are heart-shaped to lance-shaped and long, narrower leaves sometimes to long. The flowers are arranged in cylindrical, many-flowered spikes on the ends of branches with small, leaf-like bracts and bracteoles less than half as long as the sepals. The sepals are less than long and the petals white and about long, forming a tube with lobes longer than the petal tube.[1]
Leucopogon glabellus was first formally described in 1810 by Robert Brown in his Prodromus Florae Novae Hollandiae et Insulae Van Diemen .[2] [3] The specific epithet (glabellus) means "glabrous".[4]
This leucopogon grows in winter-wet places, on granite outcrops and on hills and is widespread in the Avon Wheatbelt, Esperance Plains, Jarrah Forest, Mallee, Swan Coastal Plain and Warren bioregions of south-western Western Australia.
