Epacris lanuginosa known as woolly-style heath or swamp heath, is a riparian angiosperm. Its conservation status is listed as ‘Not threatened’; the heath is a slender erect shrub that grows to a height of 60–90 cm or 90–120 cm, depending on its location. It is branched near the base, with crowded, spreading leaves that are narrowly linear-lanceolate to lanceolate in shape, 5-13mm long and 0.6-3mm wide. Its leaves are smooth, flat or concave, with the mid-vein upturned towards the apex beneath and obscure venation; the leaves have are sharp point at the tip with a leathery feel. The woolly heath flowers from late winter to early summer; when in bloom, small white flowers forming in dense terminal clusters along the upper 10 cm or more of branches. With 13-30 bracts and lanceolate sepals about 4.5-7.5mm long both brown with a papery texture. The corolla is white and tubular to narrowly bell shaped 4.5-8mm long, equal to or longer than the calyx, with tiny white hairs internally, the petal lobes 2.7–4 mm long, obtuse.

Its fruit is a papery capsule. When the lower capsule on the stem has opened the capsules higher on the stem are ready to collect. Germination of the seed takes place under dark conditions and using heat shock combined with smoke and water treatments. Common in southeast Australia Epacris lanuginosa is natively found in few parts of NSW, Victoria across the south from predominately in, it is found in evenly distributed across Tasmania, including all the islands that surround the state. It is abundant from sea-level to 1000m. In wet scrub and in healthy forests, on poorly drained peaty soils that are moist and waterlogged. Epacris lanuginosa is susceptible to the exotic fungal rot root disease Phytophthora cinnamomi, it is a water mould pathogen that can cause disease and death by impairing the plants physiological and biochemical functions where the roots are the primary site of infection. Although there is a threat abatement plan in place for the reduction of the pathogen, it has only been implemented and the heath is still vulnerable to contracting the disease
