This
mainly tropical family is represented by only two native
species of Dodonaea and one introduced species, Acer
pseudoplatanus (maple).
The native Dodonea are known as native hop or
hopbush because of their highly distinctive fruit, which has
three reddish brown wings. Both species have dark green,
viscous leaves. D. viscosa (broadleaf hopbush) has
obovate leaves, whereas D. filiformis (fineleaf
hopbush) has very narrow leaves. |
