''Orites diversifolia (=diversifolius)'', commonly known as variable orites, is a member of the family Proteaceae and is endemic to Tasmania.Understorey Network. (2017). Orites diversifolius. [online] Available at: http://www.understorey-network.org.au/family-index.html?species=Orites%20diversifolius [Accessed 7 Mar. 2017]. The common name stems from the variable form of the leaves, which range from entire and linear to serrated and ovate. It is a common shrub in lowland rainforest, subalpine woodland and scrub.

Orites Revolutus
''Orites revolutus '', also known as narrow-leaf orites, is a Tasmanian endemic plant species in the family Proteaceae. Scottish botanist Robert Brown formally described the species in ''Transactions of the Linnean Society of London'' in 1810 from a specimen collected at Lake St Clair. Abundant in alpine and subalpine heath, it is a small to medium shrub tall, with relatively small, blunt leaves with strongly revolute margins. The white flowers grow on terminal spikes during summer. Being proteaceaous, ''O. revolutus'' is likely to provide a substantial food source for nectivorous animal species within its range. Description ''Orites revolutus'' grows as a spreading bush or an erect, woody shrub, usually in height. Branching is dense and the leaves are alternate up the stem. Leaf shape is narrow and fairly blunt at the apex, 7–20 mm long, 1-1.5 mm wide, with tightly revolute margins and a hairy surface on the underside. Flowering occurs in early to mid-summer with ...

Orites Acicularis
''Orites acicularis'', commonly known as yellow bush, is an angiosperm endemic to Tasmania, Australia and is a member of the genus ''Orites'' within the family Proteaceae. The species was first described in 1810 by Scottish botanist Robert Brown in ''Transactions of the Linnean Society of London.'' Description ''Orites acicularis'' is a yellow-green coloured, woody, rounded shrub growing to approximately 1–1.5 m (3.28–4.92 ft) in height and 0.5–1 m (1.64–3.28 ft) in width, with many ascending branches. The leaves are of a conspicuous yellow-green colour; they are glabrous, sclerophyllous, approximately 10-35mm long, and rounded. They taper to a sharp point, which is typically more yellow than the rest of the leaf. The adaxial surface of the leaf has a shallow central groove, and the leaf margins are entire. Leaves attach to the woody stem by a 2–5 mm petiole. Flowering occurs in December, and presents upon a rachis which can be terminal or axill ...

Orites Lancifolius
''Orites lancifolius'', commonly known as alpine orites, is a shrub in the family Proteaceae. It is endemic to south-eastern Australia. The species has a spreading habit and may be a prostrate or up to 2 metres high. The leaves are 1 to 3 cm long, and 5 to 12 mm wide. White to pale yellow flowers appear between December and January (early to mid summer) in its native range. The species was first formally described in 1855 by botanist Ferdinand von Mueller from plant material that he collected "on the rocky summits of the Australian Alps (5-6000 feet high)". ''Orites lancifolius'' occurs in alpine and subalpine areas of New South Wales, the Australian Capital Territory The Australian Capital Territory (commonly abbreviated as ACT), known as the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) until 1938, is a landlocked federal territory of Australia containing the national capital Canberra and some surrounding townships. ... and Victoria in heath and tussock grassland amon ...

Orites Milliganii
''Orites milliganii'', also known as Milligan's orites or the toothed orites, is a species of flowering plant in the protea family that is endemic to Tasmania, Australia. Description The species grows as a dense and rigid shrub up to two metres in height, or more in sheltered sites.

Orites Megacarpus
''Nothorites'' is a genus of a sole described species of trees, constituting part of the plant family Proteaceae. The species ''Nothorites megacarpus'' grows naturally only in restricted mountain regions (endemic) of the wet tropics rain forests of north-eastern Queensland, Australia. The species was first formally scientifically described as ''Orites megacarpa'' in 1995 by Alex S. George and Bernie P. M. Hyland. Genetic studies published in 2008 by Austin Mast and colleagues demonstrated that it was not correlated with other species in the genus ''Orites''. Instead it correlates with the group of '' Macadamia'' related species and genera. Therefore, the new genus ''Nothorites'' was created and this species name combination was published. The species occurs in rainforests around Mount Spurgeon and Mount Lewis (both inland above Mossman) as well as Mount Bartle Frere Mount Bartle Frere (pronunciation mæɔnt̥ ˈbɐːɾəɫ ˈfɹɪə Ngajanji: Choorechillum) is the ...

Proteaceae Genera
The Proteaceae form a family of flowering plants predominantly distributed in the Southern Hemisphere. The family comprises 83 genera with about 1,660 known species. Together with the Platanaceae and Nelumbonaceae, they make up the order Proteales. Well-known genera include ''Protea'', ''Banksia'', ''Embothrium'', ''Grevillea'', ''Hakea'' and ''Macadamia''. Species such as the New South Wales waratah (''Telopea speciosissima''), king protea (''Protea cynaroides''), and various species of ''Banksia'', ''soman'', and ''Leucadendron'' are popular cut flowers. The nuts of ''Macadamia integrifolia'' are widely grown commercially and consumed, as are those of Gevuina avellana on a smaller scale. Australia and South Africa have the greatest concentrations of diversity. Etymology The name Proteaceae was adapted by Robert Brown from the name Proteae coined in 1789 for the family by Antoine Laurent de Jussieu, based on the genus ''Protea'', which in 1767 Carl Linnaeus derived from the n ...

Hollandaea Diabolica
''Hollandaea diabolica'' is a species of Australian rainforest tree, constituting part of the plant family Proteaceae. It is endemic to restricted areas of the rainforests of the Wet Tropics region of northeastern Queensland. ''Hollandaea diabolica'' was recognised by botanical science only as recently as the 1990s and formally scientifically described in 2012 by botanists Andrew Ford and Peter Weston. Around the early 1990s the trees were recognised only in a restricted area in the mountains west and north west of Mossman, Queensland. Another population of ''H. diabolica'' affinity was subsequently found south of Mount Bellenden Ker but collections were only of sterile material and not yet fertile and fruiting material. They may grow naturally only in the restricted mountains areas reported, further field work will clarify this. For the restricted, disjunct and small known populations of these trees, the authorities of their 2012 species naming, Andrew Ford and Peter Weston, r ...
