squamata is a small shrub that is found in dry saline
places (e.g. Township Lagoon at Tunbridge). The foliage,
with narrow, almost sessile, trilobed leaves covered in
scales is unmistakable. The species is a common native
species in dry, hot areas of mainland Australia, but it is
not clear whether the Tasmanian populations are very rare
natives or isolated introductions. |
