Floral Emblem of Victoria
Common Heath
(Epacris impressa)
Representatives of interested Victorian government departments, societies and individuals met on the 18th September 1951 and unanimously agreed on Common Heath as the state floral emblem. The pink form of Common Heath, Epacris impressa, was proclaimed the floral emblem of Victoria on 11th November 1958. Victoria was the first Australian State to give official recognition to such an emblem. In 2001 Victoria also proclaimed a different flower, a red-flowered mutation of the cinnamon wattle (Acacia leprosa 'Scarlet blaze') as the State's floral emblem for the Centenary of Federation celebrations
