Zieria fraseri (Zieria fraseri)
Description
Zieria fraseri is an dense, bushy shrub which grows to a height of about 2 m (7 ft). Its leaves are composed of three narrow elliptic to narrow egg-shaped leaflets with the middle leaflet 6–35 mm (0.2–1 in) long and 2–8 mm (0.08–0.3 in) wide and the others smaller. The leaf stalk is 2–8 mm (0.08–0.3 in) long. The upper surface of the leaves is glabrous while the lower surface is covered with a dense layer of branched hairs and has an obvious mid-vein. The flowers are white to pale pink and are arranged in groups of between three and twenty or more in leaf axils. The four sepal lobes are about 2 mm (0.08 in) long and hairy on the outside. The four petals are about 5 mm (0.2 in) long, 1–4 mm (0.04–0.2 in) wide and in common with other zierias, there are only four stamens. Flowering occurs in spring and is followed by fruit which is a glabrous follicle dotted with oil glands
