Leucopogon imbricatus is a species of flowering plant in the family Ericaceae and is endemic to south-east Queensland. It is an erect shrub with glabrous branches, crowded, often overlapping, egg-shaped leaves, and white, bell-shaped flowers that are bearded inside.
Leucopogon imbricatus is an erect shrub that typically grows to a height of about 45 cm (18 in) and has widely-spreading, glabrous branches. Its leaves are sessile, egg-shaped with the narrower end towards the base and less than 13 mm (0.51 in) long. The leaves are crowded, often overlapping, and have a fine sharp point on the rounded tip. The flowers are arranged in leaf axils on a short peduncle with small bracts and broad bracteoles less than half as long as the sepals. The sepals are about 3 mm (0.12 in) long and the petals white, forming a bell-shaped tube about as long as the sepals, with lobes about as long as the petal tube.[2]
Leucopogon imbricatus was first formally described in 1810 by Robert Brown in his Prodromus Florae Novae Hollandiae et Insulae Van Diemen.[3][4] The specific epithet (imbricatus) means "imbricate".[5]
This leucopogon grows in south-east Queensland.[6]
