Leucopogon biflorus is a species of flowering plant in the heath family Ericaceae and is endemic to eastern Australia. It is an erect to spreading shrub with hairy branchlets, oblong leaves and small white flowers.
Leucopogon biflorus is an erect to spreading shrub that typically grows to a height of 0.4–2 m (1 ft 4 in – 6 ft 7 in) and has bristly hairs on the branchlets. The leaves are glabrous, oblong, more or less flat, 9–17 mm (0.35–0.67 in) long, 2.0–2.7 mm (0.079–0.106 in) wide and sessile. The flowers are arranged singly or in pairs in leaf axils on a peduncle 1.0–1.5 mm (0.039–0.059 in) long with bracteoles 1.2–1.6 mm (0.047–0.063 in) long. The petals form a tube 2.5–3.7 mm (0.098–0.146 in) long with lobes 3.2–3.6 mm (0.13–0.14 in) long and hairy near the ends. Flowering occurs from July to October and is followed by glabrous, elliptic drupes 3.2–3.7 mm (0.13–0.15 in) long.[2]
Leucopogon biflorus was first formally described in 1810 by Robert Brown in his Prodromus Florae Novae Hollandiae.[3][4] The specific epithet (biflorus) means "two-flowered".[5]
Leucopogon biflorus grows in woodland, sometimes on rocky outcrops and occurs in south-east Queensland and as far south as Dunedoo in New South Wales.[2][6]
