Richea Alpina
''Richea alpina'', known as short candleheath, is a species of Ericaceae, heath endemic to Tasmania, occurring in the mountains of the southwest. It is morphologically similar to the hybrid species ''Richea × curtisiae, Richea curtisiae'' which usually occurs after disturbance in the west and central mountains. Description ''Richea alpina'' is a low growing (< high), sparsely branching shrub. The branches are usually covered by soil, making the above ground parts appear separate. The spreading leaves curve downwards and are crowded towards the ends of branches. They are generally long, wide with serrated margins and lance-shaped, tapering to a point at the end. The inflorescence consists of numerous flowers in terminal, pyramidal panicles (many-branched inflorescences). The floral branches bear 5-18 flowers with leaf-like bracts. While similar to the foliage leaves, the lower bracts are smaller, more erect, and with membranous wings. The shorter upper ...

Richea Pandanifolia
''Richea pandanifolia'', the pandani or giant grass tree, is a distinctive endemic Tasmanian angiosperm. It is dicot of the family Ericaceae and is found in central, western and south west Tasmania. It is a favourite among hikers and nature lovers. Description ''Richea pandanifolia'' can be described as an erect tree or shrub. It grows from in height. While it usually grows from just one stem, it can sometimes be branched. This branching occurs in the lowland subspecies as well as in damaged alpine plants. The species has strap-like leaves that taper to points and can grow up to long. These are dense and form from terminus branches. As the leaves age they are persistent, meaning that they remain on the plant. Young leaves are green in colour but as they age they become a greyish brown. The margins of these leaves are serrated and can cut human skin. Inflorescences emerge from the leaf axils on structures called panicles (branched inflorescence) which can grow up to long. ...
