Leucopogon simulans is a small, erect, open shrub from south-western Western Australia, growing in sandy heath and open woodland. It is a wild species with little horticultural history, so it is mainly grown from local-provenance stock in native gardens.
Leucopogon simulans is a species of flowering plant in the heath family Ericaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It is an erect, open shrub with a single stem at ground level, egg-shaped to elliptic leaves and erect clusters of 3 to 14 white flowers on the ends of branches and short side-branches.
This leucopogon grows in heath and low, open woodland in sandy soil and occurs from the Arrowsmith River to Watheroo National Park in the Avon Wheatbelt, Geraldton Sandplains and Swan Coastal Plain bioregions of south-western Western Australia.
