 Richea alpina (Ericaceae) not in the Students Flora

Richea alpina is a low growing alpine (or rarely subalpine) plant that grows on the mountains of the south west (Frankland, Wilmot, Western and Eastern Arthur Ranges, Mt Bobs).

This step in the key could also lead to the hybrid between Richea scoparia and R. pandanifolia. These hybrids are relatively common wherever both species occur (especially after disturbance). They were once referred to as Richea Xcurtisiae.
