About Pilidiostigma glabrum Burret
The leaves and floral parts of Pilidiostigma glabrum Burret are hairless. Leaves grow opposite each other on the stem, measuring 2 to 10 cm long and 1 to 3 cm wide, and have very small oil glands. A narrow-leafed form of this species grows near Crystal Creek in northern New South Wales. Small branches are purple or brown in color. Relatively large white or pink flowers, 2 cm across, bloom from April to November. The fruit is a purplish-black, pear-shaped berry that reaches up to 13 mm in diameter, containing four to eight kidney-shaped seeds. Seeds germinate easily within 7 to 28 days, while cuttings are slow to develop roots.
