Styphelia crassifolia

Styphelia crassifolia is a plant in the family Ericaceae native to Western Australia.[1] It was first described in 1845 as Leucopogon crassifolius by Otto Wilhelm Sonder.[3][4] In 1867 Ferdinand von Mueller transferred it to the genus, Styphelia,[2] but the accepted name continued to be Leucopogon crassifolius.[3] However, in 2020, with a publication concerning the phylogeny of Styphelia by Crayn and others,[5] the name Styphelia crassifolia was accepted by the Herbarium of Western Australia.[1][6] (The Council of Heads of Australasian Herbaria still (May 2020) lists Leucopogon crassifolius as the accepted name.)[3]
