Styphelia nitens is a species of flowering plant in the heath family Ericaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It is a shrub that was first formally described in 1904 by Ernst Georg Pritzel in Botanische Jahrbücher für Systematik, Pflanzengeschichte und Pflanzengeographie from specimens collected in Darlington (now a suburb of Perth).[2][3] In 1964, Hermann Otto Sleumer transferred the species to Styphelia, but since the name S. nutans referred to a different species (now known as Trochocarpa nutans)[4] the new species was given the name S. nitens.[1] The original specific epithet (nutans) means "nodding".[5]
Styphelia nitens is found in the Avon Wheatbelt and Jarrah Forest bioregions of south-western Western Australia and is listed as "not threatened", by the Government of Western Australia Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions.[6]
