Dodonaea microzyga
Dodonaea microzyga, commonly known as brilliant hopbush, is a species of flowering plant in the family Sapindaceae and is endemic to Australia. It is a spreading, dioecious shrub with imparipinnate leaves with two to ten lance-shaped, egg-shaped or spoon-shaped leaflets, flowers arranged singly or in pairs usually with eight stamens, a hairy ovary, and capsules with 3 or 4 wings.
Dodonaea microzyga var. acrolobata is endemic to Western Australia where it grows between Meekatharra, Lake Grace Balladonia and the Great Victoria Desert on sandy soil on plains, breakaways and rocky rises in the Avon Wheatbelt, Coolgardie, Great Victoria Desert, Mallee, Murchison and Yalgoo bioregions. The variety microzyga grows in arid habitats in open shrubland or woodland in stony rises and outcrops in the far north-west of New South Wales, southern parts of the Northern Territory, western Queensland, and is widely distributed in South Australia.
