Epacris heteronema is a species of flowering plant in the heath family Ericaceae and is endemic to Tasmania. It is an erect shrub with many branches, that typically grows to a height of 0.6–6 m (2 ft 0 in – 19 ft 8 in). Its leaves are egg-shaped with an often heart-shaped base and a sharply-pointed tip. The flowers are arranged singly in a few leaf axils near the ends of the branches and are white and tube-shaped, with lobes about the same length as the petal tube.[3]
Epacris heteronema was first formally described in 1805 by Jacques Labillardière in his Novae Hollandiae Plantarum Specimen.[4][5]
This epacris grows in heath and is widely distributed in the south and south-west of Tasmania.[6]
