Wikipedia Abstract

Alyxia squamulosa, commonly known as Alyxia Vine, is a species of shrub in the Apocynaceae family. It is endemic to Australia’s subtropical Lord Howe Island in the Tasman Sea. The specific epithet derives from the many bracteoles, or ‘scales’ (Latin: squamae, with the diminutive suffix -ulus) that subtend the flowers.
