Leucopogon pubescens is a species of flowering plant in the heath family Ericaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia.[2] The species was first formally described in 1920 by Spencer Le Marchant Moore in the Journal of the Linnean Society, Botany from specimens collected by Frederick Stoward near Ongerup.[3][4] The specific epithet (pubescens) means "covered with soft, fine hairs".[5] Leucopogon pubescens is found in the Avon Wheatbelt, Geraldton Sandplains, Jarrah Forest and Swan Coastal Plain bioregions of south-western Western Australia and is listed (as Styphelia pubescens) as "not threatened" by the Western Australian Government Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions.[2]
