Cryptandra leucopogon is a species of flowering plant in the family Rhamnaceae and is endemic to the southwest of Western Australia. It is a shrub that typically grows to a height of 5–20 cm (2.0–7.9 in) and has white to cream-coloured flowers from July to October.[2] It was first formally described in 1848 by Siegfried Reissek in Plantae Preissianae from an unpublished description by Carl Meissner.[3][4] The specific epithet (leucopogon) means "white beard".[5]
This cryptandra grows on undulating plains in the Avon Wheatbelt, Coolgardie, Esperance Plains, Jarrah Forest and Mallee bioregions of south-western Western Australia.[2]
