Epacris navicularis
Epacris navicularis is a species of flowering plant in the heath family Ericaceae and is endemic to south-western Tasmania. It is a shrub with crowded, overlapping egg-shaped leaves arranged in five rows, and bell-shaped white flowers crowded in upper leaf axils. Description
Epacris navicularis is a shrub that typically grows to a height of up to  and has softly-hairy young stems. Its leaves are crowded, overlapping and egg-shaped, arranged in five columns along the branches,  long and about  wide on a short, broad petiole. The flowers are arranged singly in leaf axils forming a cluster near the ends of branches. The five sepals are broadly lance-shaped to egg-shaped,  long and the petals are white, joined at the base to form a bell-shaped tube with lobes that are longer than the petal tube. Flowering occurs from January to March. Taxonomy and naming
