| Tetragonia
implexicoma (bower spinach) is a very common native
coastal plant. It grows on both rocky and sandy coasts and
may be a scrambling ground cover or a scramble over coastal
shrubs. The leaves are more or less diamond shaped, are
distinctly succulent and glistening on both surfaces. The
flowers are yellow and the fruit is red and succulent. It is
occasionally confused with Rhagodia candolleana,
which however has smooth, glossy upper leaf surfaces. |
