| Allocasuarina
crassa (Cape Pillar She-Oak) is only found on the south-eastern
tip of the Tasman Peninsula (near Cape Pillar). It is closely
related to A. monilifera,
A. zephyrea
and A. duncanii
, but is easily distinguished from these species by its
thick branchlets with hairy furrows. It is a tough shrub found in
coastal heath. It ranges from a very low growing plant in
wind-blasted heaths to a small tree. Large numbers of hybrids
between A. crassa and A. monilifera occur part of the
way out towards Cape Pillar
