Kennedia lateritia was originally named Kennedia macrophylla and is also known by the common names Cape Leeuwin Creeper and Augusta Kennedia. It is a rare plant native to Western Australia, and listed as endangered. It has a natural geographic range of 5km² with the largest threats to it being trampling, fire, weed invasion, and clearing land for development. The plant is however an established cultivar in the ornamental plant industry in Western Australia and some other Australian States.

The Creeper usually forms a cover over low vegetation but will climb to 4 m if trees are present.
