About Leucopogon concurvus F.Muell.
This description refers to Leucopogon concurvus F.Muell., which was previously misidentified as Leucopogon collinus here. It is a slender shrub that typically grows to a height of 30–60 cm (12–24 in). Its leaves are egg-shaped, 3.6–17 mm (0.14–0.67 in) long and 1.1–6 mm (0.043–0.236 in) wide. The leaves are either sessile or borne on a petiole up to 0.3–1 mm (0.012–0.039 in) long. The upper surface of the leaves is glabrous, and the lower surface is usually covered with bristly hairs. The flowers are arranged in spikes 4–10 mm (0.16–0.39 in) long on the ends of branches, or grow singly in four to twelve upper leaf axils. The flowers have egg-shaped bracts and bracteoles 1.5–2.2 mm (0.059–0.087 in) long. The sepals are triangular and 2.2–3.3 mm (0.087–0.130 in) long. The petals are white and joined at the base to form a cylindrical tube 1.7 mm (0.067 in) long, with petal lobes 1.7–2.5 mm (0.067–0.098 in) long that are densely bearded on the inside. Both the anthers and style do not extend beyond the end of the petal tube. Flowering occurs from July to October, and is followed by an oblong drupe 1.7–1.8 mm (0.07 in) long. This species grows in forest, mallee scrub and heath, and sometimes grows near the edge of swamps. It is endemic to the southern Mount Lofty Ranges and Kangaroo Island in South Australia.
