Empodisma
minus is one of the most common and widespread native species in
Tasmania. It occurs in wet heaths throughout Tasmania,
ranging from sea level to alpine areas. It is a more-or-less typical
member of Restionaceae, with cylindrical stems with several dry
scale-leaves, and terminal inflorescences of multiple spikelets. The
stems are sinuous and shiny green and can form tangled masses in
vegetation. They are closely related to
Calorophus, but has woolly hairs
protruding from under the scale-leaves, and is generally shorter
than Calorophus. |
