  • ​​This shrub flowers from spring to summer. It may be identified at any time of year due its distinctive ‘rosemary-like’ foliage.
  • The species is known from mostly riparian sites in Tasmania’s Northern Midlands and East Coast regions and is partly associated with the EPBC Act listed Eucalyptus ovata–Callitris oblonga Forest community. The Swanwick site is atypical, in that plants occur within near-coastal vegetation dominated by Allocasuarina verticillata (drooping sheoak).

Permit: A permit is required under the Tasmanian Threatened Species Protection Act 1995 to 'take' (which includes kill, injure, catch, damage, destroy and collect), keep, trade in or process any specimen or products of a listed species. Additional permits may also be required under other Acts or regulations to take, disturb or interfere with any form of wildlife or its products, (e.g. dens, nests, bones). This may also depend on the tenure of the land and other agreements relating to its management. ​​​​​
