Ewartia meredithae
Ewartia meredithiae, commonly known as the rusty cushion plant, is a Tasmanian endemic cushion plant species. Out of the four species in Australia from this small genus, Tasmania has three, all of which are low growing, alpine species.
This species is endemic to Tasmania, meaning it is not found anywhere else. It exists in montane vegetation and bolster heath communities throughout the alpine areas of the central and western Tasmanian mountains.
