Styphelia planifolia
Styphelia planifolia is a small shrub (growing from 0.35 to 2 m high) in the family Ericaceae native to Western Australia.[1] It was first described as Leucopogon planifolius in 1845 by Otto Wilhelm Sonder,[4][5] but moved to the genus,Styphelia, by Hermann Sleumer in 1963.[3] Until 2020, the name Leucopogon planifolius was the name accepted by the Council of Heads of Australasian Herbaria, but the Herbarium of Western Australia now accepts the name Styphelia planifolia based on the phylogenetic studies of Crayn and others.[1][6]
