Archeria eriocarpa (Ericaceae) 2:452

|
Archeria
eriocarpa is slender shrub that grows in the
understory of rainforest in many parts of western and
southern Tasmania. It is very similar to
A. hirtella, but has thinner leaves. Both
species can have white or pink flowers. It can also be
confused with the rainforest Trochocarpa
species, but A. hirtella has only one vein
visible on the underside of the leaf, whereas the Trochocarpa
species have about 5-7.
This species is unusual in that the corolla often has six
lobes rather than five. |
