Description:
Reasonably common but only one species of the genus in the Adelaide Hills. A small not significant plant. A rather strange common name for an Australian native.

Threats:
Being a small plant, its main threat is simply being overgrown by more vigorous species of plants.

Management:
Needs somewhere where it can reproduce without too much competition.
