I can't keep up with the name changes! It was Leucopogon attenuatus for the years I was identifying plants

Yes Julie I agree. I know now it is Styphelia attenuata (Small-leaved Beard Heath) but with a PlantNet key it is - https://plantnet.rbgsyd.nsw.gov.au/cgi-bin/NSWfl.pl?page=nswfl&lvl=sp&name=Leucopogon~attenuatus.

It is hard to keep up with name changes. That is why I sometimes just say 'wildflower or herb' while I am using the app, then think about it when I get home. It saves head scratching and battery power.

Someone told me I can't remember who that Plantnet was no longer receiving Government funding to keep it up to date.
