Styphelia blepharolepis
Styphelia blepharolepis is a species of flowering plant in the heath family Ericaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It is an erect shrub with sharply-pointed, oblong to lance-shaped leaves and small flowers in racemes of two to five in leaf axils with small bracts and bracteoles about  long. The sepals are about  long and the petals are joined at the base forming an urn shape about  long with lobes longer than the petal tube. It was first formally described in 1868 by Ferdinand von Mueller in his Fragmenta Phytographiae Australiae. The specific epithet (blepharolepis) means "eye-lash scale", referring to scales near the ovary. This species occurs in the Esperance plains, Jarrah Forest and Mallee bioregions of the south-west of Western Australia and is listed as "Priority Four" by the Government of Western Australia Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions, meaning that it is rare or near threatened.
