Cordyline (Agavaceae) not in the Student's Flora  
New Zealand Cabbage Tree (Cordyline australis) has become naturalised in Tasmania. It is an unmistakeable plant - it is a small tree with bare trunks, usually with a few branches. Each branch ends in a tuft of large (often ~0.5-1 m long, ~10 cm wide), parallel-veined leaves. The leaves are broadest near the middle.
