About

Callitris monticola, the steelhead or dwarf cypress (a name it shares with several other conifers), is a species of conifer in the cypress family, Cupressaceae. It is found only in Australia, occurring in the states of Queensland and New South Wales and is considered vulnerable due to its restricted distribution.
