Leucopogon ozothamnoides is a species of flowering plant in the heath family Ericaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It is a weak shrub that typically grows to a height of up to about 20 cm (7.9 in). Its leaves are egg-shaped and striated, 2.0–4.2 mm (0.079–0.165 in) long and pressed closely against the stem. In other respects, it is very similar to Leucopogon fimbriatus.[2][3]
The species was first formally described in 1868 by George Bentham in Flora Australiensis from specimens collected by Augustus Oldfield in a "dry sandy situation near Kinderup.[2][4] The specific epithet (ozothamnoides) means "Ozothamnus-like".[5]
Leucopogon ozothamnoides occurs in the Avon Wheatbelt and Jarrah Forest bioregions of south-western Western Australia and is listed "Priority One" by the Government of Western Australia Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions,[3] meaning that it is known from only one or a few locations which are potentially at risk.[6]
