Leucopogon neoanglicus

Leucopogon neoanglicus is an erect shrub that typically grows to a height of up to 80 cm (31 in), its branchlets with a rough surface. The leaves are broadly egg-shaped leaves, to egg-shaped with the narrower end towards the base, 5.6–10.3 mm (0.22–0.41 in) long and 2.3–4.6 mm (0.091–0.181 in) wide on a petiole about 0.3 mm (0.012 in) long. The leaves are glabrous with 3 parallel veins in the centre and others spreading. The flowers are erect and arranged in leaf axils with bracteoles 1.8–2.9 mm (0.071–0.114 in) long at the base. The sepals are 3.9–5 mm (0.15–0.20 in) long, the petals white and joined at the base to form a tube 5.0–7.7 mm (0.20–0.30 in) long with lobes 3.7–4.5 mm (0.15–0.18 in) long and bearded inside. Flowering occurs from March to October and the fruit is a glabrous, reddish-brown elliptic drupe about 3.2 mm (0.13 in) long.[3][4]

Leucopogon neoanglicus was first formally described in 1868 by George Bentham in his Flora Australiensis from an unpublished description by Ferdinand von Mueller.[5][6]

New England beard-heath usually grows in sandy soil on rocky outcrops on the coast and nearby tablelands at altitudes up to 600 m (2,000 ft), from south-east Queensland to the Budawang Range in south-eastern New South Wales.[3][4]
