Leucopogon bracteolaris is a species of flowering plant in the heath family Ericaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It is an erect shrub with egg-shaped to broadly lance-shaped leaves with the narrower end towards the base, about 4 mm (0.16 in) long. The leaves sometimes have a stem-clasping base, and are covered with fine hairs. The flowers are arranged in large, cylindrical spikes on the ends of branches with leaf-like, lance-shaped bracts and bracteoles almost as long as the sepals. The sepals are about 2 mm (0.079 in) long and lance-shaped, the petal tube is slightly longer than the sepals, and the petal lobes are longer than the petal tube.[2]
It was first formally described in 1868 by George Bentham in Flora Australiensis.[2][3] The specific epithet (bracteolaris) means "having bracteoles".[4]
This leucopogon occurs in the Esperance plains and Jarrah Forest bioregions of the south-west of Western Australia and is listed as "Priority Two" by the Western Australian Government Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions,[5] meaning that it is poorly known and from only one or a few locations.[6]
