Epacris glacialis is a plant species of the genus Epacris. It is endemic to Australia. The species forms a prostrate or decumbent shrub, between 5 and 30 cm high. The leaves are crowded on the branchlets and are 2 to 4 mm long and 1.5 to 2.5 mm wide.[2] White flowers appear in small clusters between December and January in the species native range.[2]
It occurs near streams and bogs on rocky slopes ranging southward from Kosciuszko National Park in New South Wales and into Victoria.[2]
The species was originally described as a subspecies of Epacris heteronema by botanist Ferdinand von Mueller who gave it the name Epacris heteronema var. glacialis in his 1868 paper Fragmenta Phytographiae Australiae[1]
