HYDROPHYLLACEAE 3:486
Phacelia tanacetifolia is the only member of this family in Tasmania. It is a robust weed of cultivated ground, and the only representative of this family in Tasmania. The leaves are pinnate to bipinnate, and the inflorescence is a one sided terminal cyme that uncoils like a fern frond. The inflorescence resembles that of many Boraginaceae.
