Epacris reclinata is a plant of the heath family Ericaceae. The species is native to New South Wales, Australia. It shares the common name fuchsia heath with the closely related Epacris longiflora.
Plants grow up to 60 cm (24 in) in height and produce pink to red long tubular flowers between June and December in the species native range.[2]
The species was formally described in 1868 in George Bentham's Flora Australiensis based on plant material collected by Allan Cunningham in the Blue Mountains.[1]
