Tasmania
has one native species of Damasonium,
D. minus (starfruit). This is a rooted aquatic
with leaves on long petioles. The leaf laminas have 3-5
parallel main veins, are quite broad (~5cm by ~2cm), and
often float on top of the water. The flowers are small,
white on the inside and carried in a widely branched
inflorescence that stands above the water. |
