Exocarpos homalocladus, commonly known as the grass tree, is a flowering plant in the sandalwood family.

[1] The specific epithet comes from the Greek homalos (“flat”) and clados (“cladode”, a leaf-like stem, specialised for photosynthesis), with reference to the structure of the plant.

The tiny yellow-green flowers occur in clusters from March to July.

The fruits are red and fleshy, 8 mm long and seated on swollen red stalks that turn translucent pink when ripe.

[1][3] The species is endemic to Australia’s subtropical Lord Howe Island in the Tasman Sea, where it is fairly common and found from sea level to the summits of the mountains.
