 Epacris lanuginosa (Ericaceae) 2:448

Epacris lanuginosa is a very common shrub in boggy places in Tasmania. The leaves are narrow, taper to a point and are mostly pressed against the stem giving the plant its distinctive spindly appearance. The flowers are clustered in dense head-like inflorescences at the ends of erect branches. E. corymbiflora grows in similar habitats and has similar inflorescences, but has relatively broad leaves.
