About Leucopogon glacialis Lindl.

Leucopogon glacialis Lindl. is a slender, spreading to erect shrub that typically reaches a height of 15 to 60 cm (5.9 to 23.6 in). It has brownish, softly hairy branchlets. Its leaves are more or less erect, narrowly egg-shaped to lance-shaped, 3โ€“12 mm (0.12โ€“0.47 in) long, 0.6โ€“1.3 mm (0.024โ€“0.051 in) wide, and usually spirally twisted. Flowers are arranged in crowded spikes holding six to twelve flowers, with spikes 4โ€“10 mm (0.16โ€“0.39 in) long. These spikes grow at the ends of branches and in upper leaf axils, accompanied by egg-shaped bracteoles 0.8โ€“1.2 mm (0.031โ€“0.047 in) long. The sepals are oblong to egg-shaped and 1.3โ€“2.5 mm (0.051โ€“0.098 in) long. The petals are white, 1.5โ€“3 mm (0.059โ€“0.118 in) long, and form a tube, with petal lobes slightly longer than the tube itself. Flowering occurs from April to September, and the fruit is an oval drupe about 2 mm (0.079 in) long. This leucopogon grows in heath and heathy woodland. It is found mostly in the south-west of Victoria and the far south-east of South Australia.
