Leucopogon psilopus is a species of flowering plant in the heath family Ericaceae and is endemic to the Stirling Range in the south-west of Western Australia.[2] The species was first formally described in 1859 by Sergei Sergeyevich Sheglejev in the Bulletin de la Société impériale des naturalistes de Moscou from specimens collected by James Drummond.[3][4] It is listed (as Styphelia psilopus) as "Priority Two" by the Western Australian Government Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions,[2] meaning that it is poorly known and from only one or a few locations.[5] The specific epithet (psilopus) means "glabrous foot", probably referring to the pedicels.[6]
