Leucopogon cinereus 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, compact shrub that typically grows to a height of 0.3–1 m (1 ft 0 in – 3 ft 3 in) and has white flowers from August to October.[2] It was first formally described in 1904 by Ernst Georg Pritzel in Botanische Jahrbücher für Systematik, Pflanzengeschichte und Pflanzengeographie from specimens collected on rocky hills near Gillingarra.[3][4] The specific epithet (cinereus) means "grey", referring to the colour of the young stems and leaves.[5]
This leucopogon grows in woodland and on dry slopes in the Avon Wheatbelt, Geraldton Sandplains, Jarrah Forest and Swan Coastal Plain bioregions of south-western Western Australia and is listed as "not threatened" by the Western Australian Government Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions.[2]
