Description
It is a small tree growing to 6 m (20 ft). The lanceolate leaves are usually 60–90 mm (2.4–3.5 in) long and 25–40 mm (0.98–1.57 in) wide. The tiny white flowers, clustered at the branch ends, appear from October to April; the stamens spring out to release pollen. The dry fruits are 4 mm (0.16 in) long.[1][2]
Distribution and habitat
The species is endemic to Australia’s subtropical Lord Howe Island in the Tasman Sea. Though generally uncommon, it is locally abundant in the moist forests of the southern parts of the Island, where it forms an association with Macropiper species on the north-western slopes of Mount Lidgbird.[1][2]
