About

Dodonaea heteromorpha is a species of plant in the family Sapindaceae and is endemic to eastern Australia. It is an erect shrub usually with simple, more or less linear leaves, flowers arranged in cymes, each flower with eight stamens, and 4-winged capsules.

Where it grows

Dodonaea heteromorpha grows in semi-arid areas with ironbark mallee or in open woodland mainly west of the Great Dividing Range in south-eastern Queensland and New South Wales. There are records of the species in the Grampians from 1894, but it is now presumed to be extinct in Victoria.
