Billardiera macrantha (Pittosporaceae) not in the Student's Flora  

 


Billardiera macrantha is a moderately common wet forest species found mostly at higher altitudes. It is quite similar to B. longiflora (and was long considered part of this species), but has longer leaves (up to 50mm long), longer flowers (more than 25mm long) on longer stalks (mostly more than 20mm long).

Two former species, B. nesophila (west, flowers turn blue with age) and B. viridiflora (far north-west, bright blue pollen) are now considered part of B. macrantha
