About

Where it grows

Hop bitter-pea grows in forest, often as an understorey plant and occurs at altitudes up to 1,800 m (5,900 ft), from the Granite Belt of south-eastern Queensland, through the tablelands, western slopes and south coast of New South Wales, to most of Victoria apart, from the north west of the state. It is also common in dry woodlands in Tasmania.
