Xanthosia tasmanica is a small, low perennial herb from southern Australia, with white flowers in a compound umbel and trifoliate leaves. It is a wild heathland and forest plant rather than a common garden subject, and its care needs are not well documented.
Xanthosia tasmanica is a species of flowering plant in the family Apiaceae and is endemic to southern Australia. It is an erect or ascending perennial herb with trifoliate leaves with elliptic leaflets, and white flowers in a compound umbel with one flower per ray and sometimes another flower between the rays.
This species of xanthosia grows in coastal heath or forest from the south coast of New South Wales, southern Victoria, the Fleurieu Peninsula and Kangaroo Island of South Australia, the Esperance Plains, Jarrah Forest, Swan Coastal Plain and Warren bioregions of south-western Western Australia and Tasmania.
