Persoonia asperula
Persoonia asperula, commonly known as mountain geebung, is a plant in the family Proteaceae and is endemic to south-eastern Australia. It is an erect or prostrate shrub with smooth bark, mostly elliptic to oblong leaves and yellow flowers borne singly or in groups of up to nine. It mostly occurs in the Southern Highlands of New South Wales. A small population in Victoria may be a different species.
Mountain geebung occurs in montane heath and wet forest in south-eastern New South Wales south of the Sandhills Range including the Tinderry Range, the Kybean Range and Mount Kydra. A small disjunct population occurs in the Moroka River catchment in Victoria. These have smaller leaves that are 3–8 mm (0.1–0.3 in) long and 1–2 mm (0.04–0.08 in) wide. It is thought that this population may constitute a separate taxon.
