Orites milliganii

The species grows as a dense and rigid shrub up to 2 metres (6 ft 7 in) in height, or more in sheltered sites. The thick, oval leaves are 15–30 mm (0.6–1.2 in) long, with short stalks, toothed margins and sharp, pointed tips. The cream-coloured, scented flowers are clustered on spikes at the ends of the branches. The dry fruits are about 15 mm 15 mm (0.6 in) long, splitting open along one side to release the seeds.^[1]

The species has a restricted distribution in the mountains of western Tasmania, where it is a component of alpine deciduous and coniferous heathland. It is considered to be rare under Tasmania's Threatened Species Protection Act 1995.^[1]
