Default WA native ID

Have spent sometime looking through the http://florabase.dec.wa.gov.au/
for an ID of this native plant, don't really have enough data to input into a search.

This image was taken in Albany (WA) late March: http://tinyurl.com/324nwv


The leaves say Epacris to me, but I couldn't find anything in the quick
look online that I had. However, this page

http://asgap.org.au/epacris4.html

suggests, based on the flowers, that they may actually be of the
Styphelia genus, but there seems to be only pictures of 5 Styphelia in
that florabase., so I'm none the wiser.
