Could someone please tell me why Leucopogon attenuatus has become Styphelia attenuata same for L. fletcheri but not L.virgatus. There is no record of a name change in the 'Flora of NSW' and when I type Styphelia attenuata same with S.fletcheri it has no record.

Yeah the shortest version of this particular taxonomy progress comes from this scholarly science journal article:
Darren M. Crayn, Michael Hislop and Caroline Puente-Lelièvre (2020 February 5th)
A phylogenetic re-circumscription of _Styphelia_ (Ericaceae, Epacridoideae, Styphelieae).
Australian Systematic Botany 33 (2) : 137–168 .

Here in the Australian Plant Name Index (APNI) – Australian Plant Census (APC),
simply listed in the step by step names and taxonomy changes :
https://id.biodiversity.org.au/name/apni/103302/api/apni-format
.
Unfortunately, the Flora of NSW online PlantNet was suffering low funding for some years (I am not so up to date on how that's going nowadays),
and so has got behind in updating to the most recent information about the plants, their names and taxonomy.
So some of the NSW PlantNet web site pages have got out of date in their names and taxonomy.
