Backhousia oligantha

About

Backhousia oligantha, commonly known Stony Creek backhousia, is a rare and critically endangered species of plant in the family Myrtaceae. This species is endemic to South-East Queensland and Central Queensland. The small tree has an unusual growth habit, with colonies of many prostrate shoots and many stems from one genotype. At the type location, there are 100 to 200 stems in six clumps, possibly with only six unique individuals. The epithet oligantha is derived from the Greek language, meaning 'few flowers'.
