Leucopogon esquamatus

Leucopogon esquamatus is a small Australian plant in the family Ericaceae. Growing to 1 metre high, it is commonly seen in open, swampy heath country on sandstone. The specific epithet "esquamatus" is derived from Latin, meaning "without scales", possibly to distinguish it from other similar plants with scale-like leaves. This is one of the many plants first published by Robert Brown with the type known as "(J.) v.v." , which means that Brown saw it living at Port Jackson. Appearing in his "Prodromus Florae Novae Hollandiae et Insulae Van Diemen" in 1810.
