Styphelia allittii is a species of flowering plant in the family Ericaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It is a rigid, glabrous shrub that typically grows to a height of about and has egg-shaped or lance-shaped leaves and tube-shaped, white flowers.[1]
It was first formally described in 1864 by Ferdinand von Mueller in Fragmenta Phytographiae Australiae from specimens collected near the Murchison River by Augustus Oldfield.[2] [3] The specific epithet (allittii) honours William Allitt, who worked at the botanic gardens at Portland.[4]
Styphelia allittii occurs in the Avon Wheatbelt, Geraldton Sandplains, Jarrah Forest and Swan Coastal Plain bioregions of south-western Western Australia and is listed as "Priority Three" meaning that it is poorly known and known from only a few locations but is not under imminent threat.[5]
