Oreobolus (Cyperaceae) 4b:108 |
|
|
|
Tasmania has
six species of Oreobolus. All of these are subalpine and
alpine tufted plants that form dense clusters, cushions or mats on
boggy soil. They are one of the more abundant groups of plants in
this habitat. In most species, the tufts are flattened from side to
side (with a row of leaves on each edge of the flattened shoot), but
in O. pumilio the tufts are not flattened and the leaves are
spirally arranged. |
