Leucopogon tamminensis is a shrub in the family Ericaceae found in Western Australia.[4]
There are two varieties:
Description
Leucopogon tamminensis is a many branched shrub which may be slender and erect or low spreading. It grows from 0.1m to 0.8 m high, and its white flowers may be seen in January or March or from May to December in its native habitat.[4]
Distribution and habitat
It is found in the IBRA Regions of Avon Wheatbelt, and Esperance Plains, on gravelly soils, deep yellow sand, and clay soils, on Sandplains and hillslopes.[4]
Taxonomy
It was first described by Ernst Georg Pritzel in 1904 from a specimen found in the Avon district near Tammin on sand-dunes,.[1][2] and the specific epithet, tamminensis, refers to this by using the Latin suffix, -ensis ("origin" "place"), to give "from Tammin".[7]
