Leucopogon cryptanthus, commonly known as small-flowered leucopogon,

cymes with leaf-like bracts and bracteoles at the base. The sepals are less than 2 mm (0.079 in) long, the petals joined at the base, forming a tube shorter than the sepals, the petal lobes about as long as the petal tube.[3][4]

The species was first formally described in 1868 by George Bentham in Flora Australiensis from specimens collected by James Drummond in the Swan River Colony.[3][5] The specific epithet (cryptanthus) means "hidden-flowered".[6]

Leucopogon crassiflorus is listed as extinct under the Australian Government Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999.[2][4]
