| Hebe
is a genus of trees and shrubs that is especially diverse in New
Zealand. One New Zealand species (H. elliptica) has become
naturalised in Tasmania. It is an erect, much branched shrub with
quite thick, elliptical leaves a couple of cm long. This species
seems to have an inordinate fondness for lighthouses. It is only
known from a few islands with lighthouses (including Maatsuyker Island off the south coast of Tasmania).
