Allocasuarina Littoralis
''Allocasuarina littoralis'', commonly known as black sheoak, black she-oak, or river black-oak, is an endemic medium-sized Australian tree (usually up to 8 metres, but sometimes to 15 metres - coarse shrub in exposed maritime areas).

Studies have shown that in long-time unburnt coastal woodlands, ''A. littoralis'' has replaced the original ''Eucalyptus''-dominated woodland. Description This evergreen Casaurina tree is noted for its modified branchlets appearing to be leaves (5–8 cm long) and narrow width (no more than 4 mm) and the true leaves are, in fact minute (rarely larger than 1mm) and occur on the tips of the modified branchlets.Flora of Victoria (1999) It is a relatively fast growing tree (up to 800mm. a year) making it very suitable for planting along roadsides. The showy red female flowers appear in spring. It is usually d ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
