The leaves are relatively thin, concave on the upper surface and have a rounded tip. The flowers are white or cream-coloured, Шаблон:Cvt in diameter, and are borne on a peduncle Шаблон:Cvt long with pointed bracts near the base. The sepals are Шаблон:Cvt long, the petal tube Шаблон:Cvt long with spreading lobes Шаблон:Cvt long.

Taxonomy

This species was first formally described in 1899 by Joseph Maiden and Ernst Betche who gave it the name Rupicola sprengelioides in the Proceedings of the Linnean Society of New South Wales, from specimens collected in 1898 at the southern edge of the Kings Tableland in the Blue Mountains.[5][6] In 2015, Elizabeth Brown changed the name to Epacris sprengelioides in Australian Systematic Botany.[7]

Distribution and habitat

Epacris sprengelioides grows on sandstone ledges, cliff faces and rocky ground in the Burragorang Valley section of the Blue Mountains in eastern New South Wales.[1]
