Leucopogon grandiflorus is a species of flowering plant in the heath family Ericaceae and is endemic to Carnarvon National Park in south-eastern Queensland. It is a shrub with softly-hairy branchlets, oblong leaves and white flowers.
Leucopogon grandiflorus is a shrub with softly-hairy branchlets, that typically grows to a height of up to 2 m (6 ft 7 in). Its leaves are oblong, 8–10 mm (0.31–0.39 in) long and about 1.3 mm (0.051 in) wide with the edges rolled under. The flowers are arranged singly in upper leaf axils with bracts about 1 mm (0.039 in) long and bracteoles about 2 mm (0.079 in) long. The sepals are egg-shaped, about 4.5 mm (0.18 in) long and the petals are white, 12–15 mm (0.47–0.59 in) long and form a tube 8–9 mm (0.31–0.35 in) long with narrowly triangular lobes. The fruit is a more or less spherical drupe about 5 mm (0.20 in) long.[2]
Leucopogon grandiflorus was first formally described in 1990 by Leslie Pedley in the journal Austrobaileya from specimens collected by Clifford Gittins in 1961.[3] The specific epithet (grandiflorus) means "large-flowered", alluding to the flowers being probably the largest in the genus.[2]
This leucopogon grows on shallow sandy soil over sandstone in and near Carnarvon National Park.[2]
