Styphelia marginata
Styphelia marginata (common name - thick-margined Leucopogon)[1] is a shrub in the family Ericaceae native to Western Australia. It was first described as Leucopogon marginatus by W. Fitzgerald in 1904.[4] Until 2020, the accepted name continued to be Leucopogon marginatus.[4] However in 2020, with a publication concerning the phylogeny of Styphelia by Crayn and others,[5] the name Styphelia marginata was accepted by the Herbarium of Western Australia.[3] (The Council of Heads of Australasian Herbaria still (May 2020) lists Leucopogon marginatus as the accepted name.)[4]
