Leptecophylla parvifolia

Leptecophylla parvifolia, commonly known as the mountain pinkberry, is a small to medium sized species of shrub in the family Ericaceae that is endemic to the highlands of Tasmania.

[1] It was then as noted as subspecies of Leptecophylla junipernia but in 2018, was classified as its own species[1] It grows as an erect, compact, and rounded shrub, typically wider than it is high.

[citation needed] The leaves are alternately arranged and smaller than other Leptecophylla species, often <7mm, dark green in colour and pungent.

However, the venation is typically narrow palmate and gives the appearance of being parallel due to the curvature of the margins and small leaf size.

[1] It flowers from September to January and by late spring, has masses of small edible pink/red berries up to 8mm in diameter[6]
