Styphelia allittii


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.
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. The specific epithet honours, who worked at the botanic gardens at Portland.
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.
