Leucopogon yorkensis
Styphelia yorkensis is a shrub or small tree from the heath family, native to Cape York Peninsula in far northern Queensland and the Torres Strait islands, growing up to about 10 m tall. It is a little-cultivated native plant that suits sandy, well-drained coastal conditions.
Styphelia yorkensis is a species of flowering plant in the heath family Ericaceae and is endemic to Cape York Peninsula in far northern Queensland. It is a shrub or tree with brown, fibrous bark, softly-hairy branchlets, lance-shaped or egg-shaped leaves with the narrower end towards the base, and spikes of small, white, tube-shaped flowers.
This styphelia grows on sand in the lee of coastal sand dunes in woodland or vine thicket, often with Asteromyrtus symphyocarpa. It occurs on Torres Strait islands and on northern and eastern parts of the Cape York Peninsula as far south as Cooktown.
