About

Dodonaea triquetra, commonly known as large-leaf hop-bush, is a species of flowering plant in the family Sapindaceae and is endemic to eastern Australia. It is usually a dioecious shrub with simple elliptic, sometimes lance-shaped or egg-shaped leaves, flowers in panicles on the ends of branches, each flower usually with four sepals, eight stamens, and a three-winged capsule.

Where it grows

Large-leaf hop-bush grows in wet or dry forest, usually in sand or on sandstone on the east coast of Australia from north of Cooktown in north Queensland through near-coastal areas, the slopes and tablelands of New South Wales, to near Bairnsdale in eastern Victoria.
