Richea procera
is an erect shrub found in scrubby vegetation on poor soils in
wet, lowland areas in Southern Tasmania (e.g. on peat on sandstones,
or in the south-west).
It can be confused with two alpine species
R. acerosa (which has narrow leaves) and R.
sprengelioides, in which the most mature
flowers are at the top of the inflorescence.
