Styphelia angustifolia is an erect shrub that typically grows to a height of up to about, its branchlets velvety-hairy. The leaves are lance-shaped to narrowly egg-shaped, long, wide on a petiole up to long. The flowers are pendent with glabrous bracteoles long at the base. The sepals are long and the petals form a tube long, the lobes long. The stamen filaments are long. Flowering mainly occurs from December to February and the fruit is long and ridged.[1] [2]
Styphelia angustifolia was first formally described in 1839 by Augustin Pyramus de Candolle in his Prodromus Systematis Naturalis Regni Vegetabilis.[3] [4] The specific epithet (angustifolia) means "narrow-leaved".[5]
This styphelia grows in forest on sandstone, mainly from the lower Blue Mountains to Pigeon House Mountain, but also in the Warialda district, in eastern New South Wales.
