micranthum (tasmanian velvetbush) is an endemic
species of shrub found in dry forests along the east coast.
It has long narrow leaves like the rarer L.
baueri, but the leaves have the secondary veins
obviously depressed, the sepals (the obvious petal-like
structures) are narrow and the bracts (the brown structures
sometimes confused with sepals) are not curved up (see
picture). |
