Cyathodes glauca

Cyathodes glauca, the purple cheeseberry, is a woody shrub or small tree common in Tasmania, Australia.

The specific epithet glauca is 'glaucous', which means bluish-grey or green, referring to the distinguishable, lighter colour on the underside of the leaves.

They are slightly scented, small (1 cm), white and tubular with recurved lobes and protruding anthers.

[5] Cyathodes glauca is a widespread and locally common understorey plant in open forest below 1100m (subalpine).

Cyathodes platystoma (a threatened species) has the largest leaves and is only found in wet sclerophyll forests of the Tasman Peninsula.
