Aristotelia peduncularis
Heart berry is a straggly, slender-branched shrub from the wet forests of Tasmania, grown for its white flowers and heart-shaped berries. It needs consistently moist, shaded conditions to thrive.
Aristotelia peduncularis, also known as heartberry, is a shrub in the family Elaeocarpaceae, endemic to the wet forests of Tasmania.
This species is found only, but is widespread, within Tasmania, occurring more commonly in the south. It can be found in relative abundance in the understorey of wet forests where conditions are consistently moist and shady, often on mountain slopes and in fern gullies (60–600m).
