About Epacris serpyllifolia R.Br.
Epacris serpyllifolia R.Br. is a prostrate, low-lying, weakly erect, or sometimes bushy shrub. It usually grows no taller than 30 cm (12 in). Its leaves are egg-shaped, 2–6 mm (0.079–0.236 in) long, and sometimes have a short point at the tip. Flowers grow in the leaf axils near the ends of branches, and usually have coloured sepals about 3 mm (0.12 in) long. The petal tube is slightly longer than the sepals, the petal lobes are shorter than the petal tube, and the anthers are sometimes slightly longer than the petal tube. This epacris species is endemic to Tasmania, where it is widespread and abundant in alpine and subalpine areas.
