Bursaria tenuifolia
Sweet Bursaria (Bursaria tenuifolia) is a shrub or spindly tree from north-eastern Queensland that grows in open scrub and rainforest margins. It is a species, not a genus, and is rarely grown in gardens, so most care guidance is general.
Bursaria tenuifolia is a species of flowering plant in the family Pittosporaceae and is endemic to north-eastern Queensland. It is a shrub or spindly tree with elliptic to rhombic adult leaves, spiny foliage when young, flowers with five whitish petals, and slightly flattened, papery fruit.
This bursaria grows in open scrubland and in the margins of rainforest at altitudes up to about 1,000 m (3,300 ft) and occurs in north-eastern Queensland.
