Leucopogon Microphyllus
''Leucopogon microphyllus'' is a small Australian plant in the family Ericaceae native to eastern Australia. Two varieties are recognised, distinguished principally by leaf hairiness and geographical distribution. ''Leucopogon microphyllus'' var. ''microphyllus'' (Cav.) R.Br. is widespread and relatively common in heathlands of coastal eastern New South Wales and south eastern Queensland. ''Leucopogon microphyllus'' var. ''pilibundus'' (A.Cunn. ex DC.) Benth. is found at higher altitudes on the eastern ranges of New South Wales and Victoria, and has leaves with long hairs on both the upper and lower surface.

Australasian Virtual Herbarium
The ''Australasian Virtual Herbarium'' (AVH) is an online resource that allows access to plant specimen data held by various Australian and New Zealand herbaria. It is part of the Atlas of Living Australia (ALA), and was formed by the amalgamation of ''Australia's Virtual Herbarium'' and ''NZ Virtual Herbarium''. As of 12 August 2014, more than five million specimens of the 8 million and upwards specimens available from participating institutions have been databased. Uses This resource is used by academics, students, and anyone interested in research in botany in Australia or New Zealand, since each record tells all that is known about the specimen: where and when it was collected; by whom; its current identification together with the botanist who identified it; and information on habitat and associated species. ALA post processes the original herbarium data, giving further fields with respect to taxonomy and quality of the data. When interrogating individual specimen record ...
