{{Inc| Lomatia (from Greek word for edge, alluding to the winged seeds). Proteaceae. About a dozen shrubs and trees in Australia and Tasmania, and in Chile, little known in cultivation, a very few of which are in the trade. They are coolhouse subjects, and suitable for the open in the warmer parts, grown primarily for the handsome dentate, pinnate or pinnatifid foliage. They require the general treatment of the Australian cool greenhouse things; propagated by well-ripened cuttings. Leaves variable, alternate, from entire to toothed and bipinnatifid: fls. small, perfect, in pairs, borne in terminal or axillary racemes; white, pale yellow or reddish; perianth irregular, with an oblique tube open along lower side, the long lobes cohering in an ovoid- globular recurved limb; anthers sessile; ovary on a long stipe, with a long style and flat stigmatic disk: fr. a coriaceous follicle. L. ferruginea, R. Br. (L. pin- nalifolia, Hort.), is the species most likely to be cult.: Chile: graceful in habit, handsome, with grevillea-like foliage: lvs. 2-pinnatifid, very dark green above and tomentose beneath, the segms. ovate and 3-toothed at the point: fls. about ½in. long, golden yellow and scarlet, rusty-hairy outside. B.M. 8112. G.C. III. 42:232, 233. L. obliqua, R. Br. Chile. Shrub or tree with densely leafy erect branches: lvs. ovate, crenate, leathery, smooth and bright green, 3-4 in. long: fls. white, with rusty hairs, about 1/3 in. long, in short axillary racemes. L. longifolia, R. Br. Austral. Erect, 8-10 ft., evergreen, glabrous or nearly so: lvs. linear- lanceolate to oblong-lanceolate, remotely serrate, 4-8 in. long: fls. greenish white, in terminal and axillary not elongated racemes, the perianth about 1/3 m. long. B.M. 7698. B.R. 442. L. heterophylla is offered as an "elegant evergreen foliage plant." }} ==Cultivation==  ===Propagation===  ===Pests and diseases===  ==Species==  ==Gallery== {{photo-sources}} <gallery> Image:Upload.png| photo 1 Image:Upload.png| photo 2 Image:Upload.png| photo 3 </gallery> ==References== *[[Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture]], by L.
