Pentachondra involucrata |
Pentachondra involucrata, the forest frilly-heath, is a small Tasmanian plant in the family Ericaceae.
The specific epithet involucrata is derived from Latin, translated as "wrapper". It refers to the involucral bract, a whorl of bracts below the flower. It first appeared in scientific literature in 1810, in Prodromus Florae Novae Hollandiae, authored by the prolific Scottish botanist, Robert Brown.[1]
