About Dodonaea boroniifolia G.Don
Dodonaea boroniifolia is most often a dioecious shrub that has a spreading to erect growth form, and typically reaches 2–4 meters (6 feet 7 inches to 13 feet 1 inch) in height. Its branches are covered in dense hairs, and its leaves are imparipinnate. The entire leaf measures 6–40 mm (0.24–1.57 in) in length, and holds between six and sixteen narrowly egg-shaped leaflets. Each leaflet has its narrower end oriented toward the leaf base, is 2.5–10 mm (0.098–0.394 in) long and 1.5–15 mm (0.059–0.591 in) wide, and the leaf petiole is 1–8 mm (0.039–0.315 in) long. Flowers of this species are arranged in pairs or groups of three in leaf axils, with each flower borne on a 4–8 mm (0.16–0.31 in) long pedicel. Flowers have four lance-shaped to egg-shaped, sticky sepals that are 2–4 mm (0.079–0.157 in) long, and these sepals fall off as the flower matures. There are eight to ten densely hairy stamens, each longer than the sepals. The fruit is a broadly elliptical capsule, 10–20 mm (0.39–0.79 in) long and 12–18 mm (0.47–0.71 in) wide, with four membranous wings that are 2.5–5 mm (0.098–0.197 in) wide. This Dodonaea species grows in a range of habitats including forest, open woodland, and heath. Its range extends from Charters Towers in north-eastern Queensland, through central and eastern New South Wales, to north-central and north-eastern Victoria.
