Leucopogon tamminensis

Styphelia tamminensis is a slender, much-branched shrub from the heath family (Ericaceae), native to south-western Western Australia, growing 30 to 60 cm tall with small white tubular flowers. It is a wild native rather than a common garden plant, so care guidance is general and based on related Australian heath plants.
