Styphelia blepharolepis

Styphelia blepharolepis is a species of flowering plant in the heath family Ericaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It is an erect shrub with sharply-pointed, oblong to lance-shaped leaves and small flowers in racemes of two to five in leaf axils with small bracts and bracteoles about 1 mm long. The sepals are about 2 mm long and the petals are joined at the base forming an urn shape about 4 mm long with lobes longer than the petal tube.

It was first formally described in 1868 by Ferdinand von Mueller in his Fragmenta Phytographiae Australiae. The specific epithet (blepharolepis) means "eye-lash scale", referring to scales near the ovary.

This species occurs in the Esperance plains, Jarrah Forest and Mallee bioregions of the south-west of Western Australia and is listed as "Priority Four" by the Government of Western Australia Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions, meaning that it is rare or near threatened.
