Correa lawrenceana (Rutaceae)..Commonly called the ‘Mountain Correa’ because it grows on mountains in the subalpine wet forests… it’s a tall shrub that is quite distinct and easily spotted. Especially at the moment because it is one of the few things in flower. If it’s not in flower you can pick it out by the opposite leaves that have noticeable glands. Very ‘Correa’ looking really! Leaves are green on top and whitish yellow dusty looking underneath. ..Flowers can be hard to spot until you are used to it, being a pale yellow/greeny colour so they do blend in well! They are cute though, especially when they are babies and look like little blobs with hats on. Well. I think so anyway. .I wandered along the Milles track on Mt Wellington today (Hobart) and saw loads of them. They look extra wonderful in the rain too! ..#plants #flora #tasmanianflora #plantsoftasmania #wildflowers #tasmania #botany #flowersoftasmania #floraoftasmania#keeptassiewild #nature #wildflowers #australiannativeplants #correa #rutaceae #mtwellington #kunanyi #wetforest -- source link
