It is a common, wiry shrub with tiny leaves that are often obscured by the flowers, especially near the ends of the stems. The plant sometimes grows in dense groups, giving the effect of a snowfall. DescriptionCoral heath is an erect, wiry shrub with rod-like stems and angled branches, usually growing to a height of {{convert|1|m|ft|sigfig=1}}. The leaves are about {{convert|2.0-3.5|mm|in|sigfig=1}} long and wide, concave and egg-shaped to almost circular and sharply pointed but not prickly.[1][2][3] The flowers are arranged singly in the axils of as many as 90 of the upper leaves, often almost covering {{convert|40|cm|in|sigfig=1}} of the ends of the branches. The petals form a tube with spreading lobes {{convert|1.5-2.0|mm|in|sigfig=1}} long and are white with five red anthers visible in the centre. Flowers are present for most of the year, but the main flowering period is July to November.[2][3] Taxonomy and namingEpacris microphylla was first formally described by Robert Brown in 1810 and the description was published in Prodromus Florae Novae Hollandiae.[4][5] The specific epithet (microphylla) is derived from the Ancient Greek words mikros meaning "small" or "little"[6]{{rp|488}} and phyllon meaning "leaf".[6]{{rp|466}} There are two varieties of E. microphylla:
Distribution and habitatCoral heath grows in heathland in moist, rocky areas and in forest areas. It occurs in coastal areas in Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria, often in poor, sandy soils.[2] It is also only known in a single locality in New Zealand, on the southern shore of the Manukau Harbour, near Auckland.[10] Use in horticultureEpacris microphylla is an attractive and hardy garden plant as long as it is grown in well-drained soil. It is difficult to propagate from seed but can be grown from semi-hard tip cuttings.[11][12][13]References1. ^Les Robinson - Field Guide to the Native Plants of Sydney, {{ISBN|978-0-7318-1211-0}} page 107 {{Taxonbar|from=Q5382001}}2. ^1 2 {{cite web |url=http://plantnet.rbgsyd.nsw.gov.au/cgi-bin/NSWfl.pl?page=nswfl&lvl=sp&name=Epacris~microphylla|title= Epacris microphylla R.Br. |accessdate=22 November 2015 |author= Brown, E. |date=1990 |work=Plantnet - New South Wales Flora Online |publisher=Royal Botanic Gardens, Sydney}} 3. ^1 {{cite web|title=Epacris microphylla var. microphylla|url=http://www.friendsoflanecovenationalpark.org.au/Flowering/Flowers/Epacris_microphylla.htm|publisher=Friends of Lane Cove National Park|accessdate=22 November 2015}} 4. ^{{cite web|title=Epacris microphylla|url=https://id.biodiversity.org.au/instance/apni/493974|publisher=APNI|accessdate=25 December 2016}} 5. ^{{cite book|last1=Brown|first1=Robert|title=Prodromus Florae Novae Hollandiae:|date=1810|publisher=Typis R Taylor, veneunt apud J.
