Pentachondra involucrata

Pentachondra involucrata, the Forest Frilly-heath is a small Tasmanian plant in the Heath family.

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.
