Beyeria viscosa
Also called Sticky Wallaby Bush
Pinkwood (Beyeria viscosa) is a native Australian shrub, occasionally a small tree, in the spurge family that grows as an understory plant under eucalypts. It thrives in poor, well-drained soil in semi-shaded spots.
Beyeria viscosa, commonly known as the pinkwood or sticky wallaby bush (New South Wales), is a species of flowering plant in the spurge family, Euphorbiaceae, that is endemic to Australia.
Beyeria viscosa is found throughout Australia with the exception of the Northern Territory but is most abundant in dry areas of central eastern New South Wales and eastern Tasmania where it is a common understory shrub to Eucalypts. Plants prefer poor, well drained soils on semi-shaded sites and are abundant in riparian habitats, gullies and on rocky hills and ridges where they can form dense stands.
