Richea victoriana is a species of flowering plant in the family Ericaceae that is endemic to Victoria, Australia . It is similar to Richea continentis, with differences including the presence of prominent leaf scars on the stems and inflorescences that are less than 12 cm long and have a hairless stem.[2] The species was first formally described in 1995 in Muelleria based on plant material collected from the Thomson River headwaters.[1][3] It occurs in wet areas in the vicinity of the Baw Baw plateau and the Blue Range.[2]
