Leucopogon cordatus is a small plant in the family Ericaceae and is endemic to Western Australia. It is an erect spreading shrub, typically growing to a height of 0.35–1 m (1 ft 2 in–3 ft 3 in) on sandy soils often over granite, laterite or limestone. Its white flowers may be seen from July to November.[2]
It was first formally described in 1845 by Otto Wilhelm Sonder in Johann Georg Christian Lehmann's Plantae Preissianae.[3][4] The specific epithet (cordatus) means "heart-shaped", referring to the leaves.[5]
