Richea continentis, also known as the candle heath, is a flowering plant found only in Australia. It is a small shrub with multiple branches and leaves that range from 1 to 4 cm in length. The plant produces white to greenish-white flowers in an inflorescence that can reach up to 30 cm in length. It was first described by botanist Brian Laurence Burtt in 1942 and is typically found near water sources or in wet heathland in the alpine or sub-alpine regions of Victoria and New South Wales.
