Styphelia adscendens (Ericaceae) 2:423  
This is a reasonably common species in dry sclerophyll vegetation. It is a low growing, spreading shrub and is sometimes confused with the more common Styphelia humifusa, however it has broader leaves (perhaps 3-4 times longer than wide, rather than more than 5 times). When in flower, the green flowers with long tubes, recurved lobes and exserted anthers make it quite distinctive. The leaves have distinct lines of hairs along the margins.
