| Leptocarpus
tenax is a reasonably common native herb in heaths, sedgelands
and open, wet forest understoreys. It is a more-or-less typical
member of Restionaceae, with erect, unbranched, cylindrical stems
with several scarious bracts, and terminal inflorescences of
multiple spikelets. The stems are bluish, typically to 1.1 m tall,
and the inflorescences relatively large and complex.
Apodasmia brownii was previously
included in Leptocarpus. |
