Leucopogon concinnus is a species of flowering plant in the heath family Ericaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It is a low-lying shrub with many branches. Its leaves are egg-shaped or oblong, 2–4 mm (0.079–0.157 in) long with a small point on the end and the ends rolled under. The flowers are arranged singly or in pairs in leaf axils on a short peduncle. The sepals, petal tube and petal lobes are about 2 mm (0.079 in) long.[2]
The species was first formally described in 1868 by George Bentham in Flora Australiensis.[2][3] The specific epithet (concinnus) means "neat" or "pretty".[4]
Leucopogon concinnus occurs in the Avon Wheatbelt, Esperance Plains, Jarrah Forest and Mallee bioregions of south-western Western Australia and is listed as "not threatened" by the Government of Western Australia Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions.[5]
