Orites
diversifolius (variable orites) is a common species
that ranges from the lowland rainforest in western Tasmania
to the lower parts of the alpine zone. The leaves are very
variable, but usually have a length to width ratio greater
than 2. Rainforest plants often have leaves approximately
10cm long, whereas plants from exposed subalpine areas are
more likely to be about 3-5cm long. They may be entire, but
more often have sharp, shallow lobes. The undersides of the
leaves are glaucous.
