Corunastylis Tasmanica

Tasmanian starflower, scientifically known as Corunastylis tasmanica, is a rare and delicate flowering plant native to the high-altitude regions of Tasmania. This small herbaceous species is characterized by its star-shaped white petals and distinctive yellow stamens that give it its common name. Found primarily in alpine and subalpine habitats, it thrives in cool, moist environments with well-drained soil. Due to its limited distribution and habitat specificity, the Tasmanian starflower is considered a vulnerable species. Conservation efforts are ongoing to protect this unique plant from the threats of climate change and habitat loss.
