| Lawrencia
squamata is a small shrub that is found in dry saline places (e.g.
Township Lagoon at Tunbridge). The foliage, with narrow, almost
sessile, trilobed leaves covered in scales is unmistakable. The
species is a common native species in dry, hot areas of mainland
Australia, but it is not clear whether the Tasmanian populations are
very rare natives or isolated introductions. |
