Leucopogon gibbosus is a small plant in the family Ericaceae, endemic to Western Australia.[4] It is an erect shrub, growing from 0.2 m to 1 m high, on sandy soils often over granite or on lateric gravel. Its white flowers may be seen from February to October.[4]
It was first described in 1859 by Stschegleew, from a specimen in the Drummond collection[1][2]
