Styphelia (Ericaceae) 2:423 |
|
|
| Tasmania
has one species of Styphelia, S. adscendens. This
is a reasonably common species in dry sclerophyll vegetation. It is a low growing, spreading
shrub and is sometimes confused with the more common Astroloma humifusum, however it has broader leaves
(perhaps 3-4 times longer than wide, rather than more than 5 times).
When in flower, the green flowers with long tubes, recurved lobes and
exserted anthers make it quite distinctive.
The leaves have distinct lines of hairs along the margins. |
