Astrotricha latifolia
Astrotricha latifolia is a large native Australian shrub in the ivy family, typically 2 to 4 m tall, grown mainly for its big leaves and yellowish-green flower clusters. Its sources describe it as a wild plant of wet forest edges, so it suits a shaded or partly shaded garden with good moisture.
Astrotricha latifolia, known as the broad-leaf star-hair, is a species of flowering plant in the Family Araliaceae and is endemic to eastern Australia. It is a large shrub with oblong to egg-shaped or elliptic leaves, and yellowish-green flowers.
Broad-leaf star-hair grows in wet forests or the edges of rainforest from sea level to an altitude of 1,500 m (4,900 ft) in a wide variety of soil types and occurs from about Gympie in south-east Queensland to Narooma in southern coastal New South Wales and west to the Great Dividing Range
