Richea procera, commonly known as the lowland richea or lax candleheath is an erect, sparsely branched shrub endemic to Tasmania.
This species is sometimes confused with Richea sprengelioides, however it can be distinguished by its larger, more flexible leaves and differences in flowering morphology.
Richea procera is endemic to Tasmania and primarily occurs in central and southern regions at altitudes above 400 meters, but below the subalpine zone where it thrives in cool, high-humidity environments. It is distributed across the Central Highlands, Derwent Valley, Hobart, Huon Valley, Kentish, Launceston, Meander Valley, Northern Midlands, Southern Midlands, and West Coast municipalities.
