Usually a vine or small shrub growing in moist areas. Leaves 4 to 8 cm long, 1.5 to 3 cm wide, wavy edged or toothed. Leaf stem 2 to 5 mm long. The stems hairless, marked with lenticels. Four petal flowers form on cymes, petals 1 to 3 mm long. The fruit is a nut, 2 to 3 mm long.[3]
Conservation status
In Victoria it is listed as "vulnerable", being known only from a single collection near Mallacoota.[4]
gollark: That sounds quite bad.
gollark: Maybe. It's hard to judge. If you average across all platforms ever, then probably.

gollark: The very ominously named "online safety bill" is very ominous and would impose ridiculous compliance requirements on basically everything, as well as allowing the media regulator to block sites which don't comply, as well as in a plausibly-deniable way banning end to end encryption, as well as requiring all web platform things to censor "harmful content".
gollark: The UK is also doing bad things nominally but not really in opposition to technology companies.
