cunninghamii (myrtle beech) is the dominant tree
species of most of Tasmania's rainforest. Its leaves are
small (<2 cm long) more or less serrate in almost all
specimens, and are dark green, usually with numerous glands
appearing as small dots. It ranges from a large
rainforest tree, up to 40 m tall and more than 2m in
diameter, to a small alpine shrub. |
