Styphelia stricta is a small plant in the family Ericaceae. It is endemic to Western Australia.
The species was described in 1868 as Leucopogon strictus by George Bentham. In 1882, Ferdinand von Mueller transferred it to the genus, Styphelia,[1] to give the name accepted by the Western Australian Herbarium, (because of the phylogenetic study by Darren Crayn and others). This name is not accepted by CHAH, nor yet by Plants of the World Online.[2]
It is found in the IBRA regions of Jarrah Forest and the Swan Coastal Plain.
