Leucopogon longipes (Ericaceae: Epacridoideae: Styphelieae), a remarkable, new, short-range endemic from the Great Southern district of Western Australia

Among the epacrids of Western Australia a high percentage of taxa have narrow and/or very sporadic distributions and are hence of conservation concern.Illustrative of this is the fact that of 48 new Western Australian epacrids published in the last five years, 36 or 3/4 of them, have been assessed as Priority or Threatened Flora.A significant number of such species have very restricted distributions indeed with new examples of this phenomenon still coming to light with some regularity.The latest to be discovered was found by the second author during a brief assessment of the conservation values of a remnant on private property in the Great Southern district.
