Cryptandra (Rhamnaceae) 1:120

Cryptandra species low growing native species with very narrow, alternate leaves. The flowers superficially resemble those of Epacris in having flowers with a white, petaloid tube. However, this tube is not formed from fused petals. Instead the flowers are deeply perigynous (i.e. the tube is a extension of the base of the flower, and has tiny petals, sepals and anthers attached). Tasmania has three native species of Cryptandra
