About

Anodopetalum biglandulosum is a Tasmanian endemic shrub or small tree species that is a common component of Tasmania's cool temperate rainforests. It is commonly known as horizontal or horizontal scrub because of its habit of growth. It is the sole species in the genus Anodopetalum.

Where it grows

Anodopetalum biglandulosum is a Tasmanian endemic species that is a common component of Tasmanian cool temperate rainforests. Tasmanian rainforests are classified along a fertility gradient into three major types: callidendrous, thamnic and implicate rainforests. Callidendrous rainforests are tall, park-like forests with few shrubs in the understory, located on high fertility soils. Thamnic rainforests are well-formed trees, medium in height, with a distinct shrub layer on intermediate fertility soils. Implicate rainforests are low, tangled forests with uneven canopies on infertile soils.
