Flax (Phormium tenax) has become naturalised in Tasmania. It
is a very large monocot, with a tuft of tough, strap-like leaves
that are erect at the base but curve so that they are drooping down
at the ends. They are often 2-3 metres long and 5-12 cm wide. The
flowers are reddish, tubular, a few cm long, and occur on large
erect spikes. |
