| Tasmania has
one native species of Melicytus (M. dentatus, known
until recently as Hymenanthera dentata). This
plant is an often branched shrub with branchlet often ending
in thorns. It is usually erect, but prostrate forms can be found in
very exposed sites. It is common in subalpine and dry areas of northern
Tasmania, and occurs sporadically in south-eastern mountains. It superficially resemble Coprosma nitida but has
alternate leaves. |
