Lambertia ericifolia, commonly known as heath-leaved honeysuckle, is a shrub which is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It grows up to 5 metres high and has orange to red flowers which appear from spring to autumn.[2]

The species was formally described in 1830 by botanist Robert Brown based on plant material collected by William Baxter near King George Sound.[1]
