| Epacris
limbata (bordered heath), is a rare shrub
that only grows in the Eastern Tiers south-west of Bicheno.
It is an erect shrub with narrow heart-shaped leaves with
clasping bases.
The habit and foliage are very similar to E.
gunnii, but E. limbata has flowers
with a more cylindrical corolla tube and exserted anthers.
E. acuminata
also has heart-shaped leaves, but has flowers clustered at
the ends of the branches and a more compact growth habit.
