Leucopogon fimbriatus is a species of flowering plant in the heath family Ericaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It is a bushy, erect or sprawling, densely branched shrub that typically grows to a height of 0.15–1 m (5.9 in – 3 ft 3.4 in).[2] It was first formally described in 1859 by Sergei Sergeyevich Sheglejev in the Bulletin de la Société impériale des naturalistes de Moscou.[3][4] The specific epithet (fimbriatus) means "fringed", referring to the leaves.[5]
Leucopogon fimbriatus occurs in the Avon Wheatbelt, Coolgardie, Esperance Plains, Jarrah Forest and Mallee bioregions of south-western Western Australia and is listed "not threatened" by the Government of Western Australia Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions.[2]
