Atherosperma moschatum subsp. integrifolium
A slender shrub or medium-sized rainforest tree from the mountains of New South Wales, Australia, valued for its fragrant, nutmeg-scented leaves. It needs cool, moist, shaded conditions, so it suits gardens with a sheltered, cool climate.
Atherosperma moschatum subsp. integrifolium, commonly known as southern sassafras, narrow leaf sassafras or blackheart sassafras, is a flowering plant in the family Atherospermataceae and is endemic to New South Wales. It is a slender shrub or small tree with mostly lance-shaped leaves, white flowers and the fruit an achene.
This subspecies of A. moschatum grows in rainforest, often with Nothofagus moorei, at altitudes between 890 and 1,370 m (2,920 and 4,490 ft) between Barrington Tops and the Blue Mountains.
