Eucryphia milliganii
Eucryphia milliganii, also known as the dwarf leatherwood, is a shrub or small tree endemic to areas of Tasmania. It grows in western and southern Tasmania, where it is most commonly found in alpine and sub-alpine heath areas. It is related to the popular horticulture plant Eucryphia lucida also known as leatherwood.
Interior of Tasmania towards the south and west coast. It is most common in alpine and sub-alpine areas where it grows in relatively undisturbed heath, but it extends virtually to sea level in scrubby vegetation. There are two subspecies of E. milliganii. E. milliganii subsp. milliganii grows north of a line running from Macquarie Harbour to Bruny Island. The leaves of this subspecies are oblong. The southern subspecies, E. milliganii subsp. pubescens, grows south of this line and has ovate leaves.
