VIOLACEAE 1:53

The Violaceae are represented in Tasmania by two very different genera, Melicytus (formerly known as Hymenanthera) and Viola. Melicytus is a genus of shrubs and small trees. The Tasmanian flora includes both native and introduced species of Viola. These ground-hugging herbs have highly asymmetrical flowers with a large bottom petal.
