| Archeria
hirtella is slender shrub that grows in the understory
of rainforest in many parts of western and southern
Tasmania. It is very similar to A.
eriocarpa but has thicker leaves and tends to
grow in slightly more open vegetation. 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. |
