Leptecophylla parvifolia (formerly part of Leptecophylla juniperina = Cyathodes juniperina; Ericaceae) 2:427

 

Leptecophylla parvifolia (= Cyathodes juniperina; Cheeseberry) is a dense shrub with sharply pointed leaves typical of the genus. It grows in open eucalypt woodland and forest, rarely exceeds 2 m in height, and typically occurs at elevations > 500 m. It is an abundant species in some areas (e.g. Central Plateau). It may be confused with L. oxycedrus, but that species is typically taller (> 3m), has larger leaves, and is found near the coast at lower elevation.
