Leucopogon acicularis is a species of flowering plant in the family Ericaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It is an erect, open shrub that typically grows to a height of 0.2–1 m (7.9 in–3 ft 3.4 in) and is mostly found in the Stirling Range National Park in the Esperance Plains bioregion.[2]
It was first formally described in 1868 by George Bentham in Flora Australiensis from specimens collected by George Maxwell.[3][4] The specific epithet (acicularis) means "needle-pointed", referring to the leaves.[5]
