| One
species of Threlkeldia (T. diffusa) is native
to Tasmania. It is a small coastal shrub of north-eastern
Tasmania and the Bass Strait Islands. Vegetatively it
resembles Suaeda australis with its narrow, fleshy
leaves. However it has shorter leaves than Suaeda
and grows on limestone or limey soils (not in
saltmarshes), whereas Suaeda is a saltmarsh plant. |
