Leucopogon esquamatus is a small Australian plant in the family Ericaceae. Growing to 1 metre high, it is commonly seen in open, swampy heath country on sandstone.[1] The specific epithet esquamatus is derived from Latin, meaning "without scales", possibly to distinguish it from other similar plants with scale-like leaves.[2] This is one of the many plants first published by Robert Brown with the type known as "(J.) v.v." , which means that Brown saw it living at Port Jackson. Appearing in his Prodromus Florae Novae Hollandiae et Insulae Van Diemen in 1810.
