Leucopogon gracilis is a shrub in the family Ericaceae found in Western Australia.[4]
It was first described in 1810 by Robert Brown,[1][2] and the specific epithet, gracilis, is the Latin adjective gracilis ("slender", "thin", or "graceful") describing the plant as slender and graceful.[5] A holotype, K000348592, collected by Robert Brown at King George's Sound is kept in the Kew Royal Botanic Gardens Herbarium (K).[6]
