About

Dodonaea tepperi is a species of flowering plant in the family Sapindaceae and is endemic to South Australia. It is a spreading shrub with simple linear, oblong or narrowly elliptic leaves with the edges rolled under, flowers arranged singly with 3 or 4 egg-shaped sepals, 6 to 8 stamens and capsules with three or four crust-like wings.

Where it grows

This species of hop-bush is a very rare species and is only known from a few disjunct populations in semi-arid mallee areas of South Australia. It was collected in the 1900s in the Gawler Ranges, and on the Fleurieu, Yorke and Eyre Peninsulas.
