Astrotricha latifolia, known as the broad-leaf star-hair,[2] is a species of flowering plant in the Family Araliaceae and is endemic to eastern Australia.
It is a large shrub with oblong to egg-shaped or elliptic leaves, and yellowish-green flowers.
The upper surface of the leaves is smooth and green, the lower side sparsely hairy with the network of veins visible underneath.
[2][3][4][5] Astrotricha latifolia was first formally described in 1837 by George Bentham in Enumeratio plantarum quas in Novae Hollandiae ora austro-occidentali ad fluvium Cygnorum et in sinu Regis Georgii collegit Carolus Liber Baro de Hügel.
