Styphelia oligantha (E.Pritz.) Sleumer

Leucopogon oliganthus is a shrub in the family Ericaceae found in Western Australia.[4]

It was first described in 1904 by Ernst Georg Pritzel,[1][2] and the specific epithet, oliganthus, derives from the Greek: oligos ("few" or "scanty") and anthos ("flower") to give an adjective describing the plant as having "few or small flowers".[5]
