One species of Leycesteria has become naturalised in
Tasmania. (L. formosa; also known as himalayan
honeysuckle or elishas tears) has ovate leaves with
acuminate apices and coarsely serrate margins. They are
about 5-15 cm long. The conspicuous part of the plant, both
at the flowering and fruiting stage, are the large, purplish
floral bracts. The inflorescences are pendulous. |
