Leucopogon rigidus is a species of flowering plant in the heath family Ericaceae and is endemic to the south of Western Australia.[2] It was first formally described in 1839 by Augustin Pyramus de Candolle in his Prodromus Systematis Naturalis Regni Vegetabilis from an unpublished description by Allan Cunningham.[3][4] The specific epithet (rigidus) means "hard" or "stiff", probably referring to the branchlets.[5] Leucopogon rigidus is found in the Esperance Plains bioregion of southern Western Australia and is listed (as Styphelia rigida) as "not threatened" by the Western Australian Government Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions.[2]
