About

Tasmannia glaucifolia, commonly known as fragrant pepperbush, is a species of flowering plant in the family Winteraceae, and is endemic to New South Wales. It is a dioecious shrub with lance-shaped leaves, the narrower end towards the base, the flowers usually without petals, male and female flowers on separate plants and the fruit is a glossy, deep purple-black berry.

Where it grows

Fragrant pepperbush occurs in 3 separate areas – the Gloucester Tops and Barrington Tops area, Ben Halls Gap National Park and near Point Lookout in the New England National Park. It usually grows in soils derived from basalt, sometimes granite, near watercourses in cool temperate rainforest, at altitudes between 1,200 and 1,530 m (3,940 and 5,020 ft).
