Zieria alata is a small, open Australian shrub from the citrus family, native only to high mountain ranges near Mossman and the Daintree in north Queensland. It is rarely grown outside its native range and is mainly of interest to botanists and native plant collectors.
Zieria alata is a plant in the citrus family Rutaceae and is only found on mountains in the Mossman and Daintree areas in Queensland. It is an open shrub with wiry, lumpy branches, three-part leaves and small, white, cream-coloured or pale pink flowers in small groups, each with four petals and four stamens.
This zieria grows near granite boulders in windswept heath and stunted closed forest in areas higher than 1,000 m (3,000 ft) above sea leavel, on the ranges behind the Daintree River and Mossman.
