 Epacris limbata (Ericaceae) not in the Student's Flora

Epacris limbata is a rare shrub that only grows in the Eastern Tiers south-west of Bicheno. It is an erect shrub with narrow heart-shaped leaves with clasping bases.

The habit and foliage are very similar to E. gunnii, but E. limbata has flowers with a more cylindrical corolla tube and exserted anthers. E. acuminata also has heart-shaped leaves, but has flowers clustered at the ends of the branches and a more compact growth habit.
