Tremandraceae. Slender glabrous or stellate-pubescent, heath-like little shrubs, grown in the greenhouse and out-of-doors in the far South. Leaves alternate, verticillate or scattered, heath-like, entire, flat and toothed or reduced to minute scales: fls. 4-5-merous; stamens apparently in a single series; disk inconspicuous: caps. opening only at the edges. —About 20 species, all from Austral. In European greenhouses all the plants of this family are considered difficult of cult. They are treated like many other Australian heath-like plants, being potted in fibrous peat and silver sand and watered carefully at all times. It is said that only soft rain-water should be used. {{SCH}} }} ==Cultivation== {{edit-cult}}<!--- Type cultivation info below this line, then delete this entire line --> ===Propagation=== {{edit-prop}}<!--- Type propagation info below this line, then delete this entire line --> ===Pests and diseases=== {{edit-pests}}<!--- Type pest/disease info below this line, then delete this entire line --> ==Species== Species include: *''[[Tetratheca affinis]]''{{wp}} *''[[Tetratheca aphylla]]''{{wp}} *''[[Tetratheca bauerifolia]]''{{wp}} *''[[Tetratheca ciliata]]''{{wp}} *''[[Tetratheca confertifolia]]''{{wp}} *''[[Tetratheca decora]]''{{wp}} *''[[Tetratheca deltoidea]]''{{wp}} *''[[Tetratheca efoliata]]''{{wp}} *''[[Tetratheca elliptica]]''{{wp}} *''[[Tetratheca ericifolia]]''{{wp}} *''[[Tetratheca erubescens]]''{{wp}} *''[[Tetratheca exasperata]]''{{wp}} *''[[Tetratheca fasciculata]]''{{wp}} *''[[Tetratheca filiformis]]''{{wp}} *''[[Tetratheca glandulosa]]''{{wp}} *''[[Tetratheca gunnii]]''{{wp}} *''[[Tetratheca halmaturina]]''{{wp}} *''[[Tetratheca harperi]]''{{wp}} *''[[Tetratheca hirsuta]]''{{wp}} *''[[Tetratheca hispidissima]]''{{wp}} *''[[Tetratheca insularis]]''{{wp}} *''[[Tetratheca juncea]]''{{wp}} *''[[Tetratheca labillardierei]]''{{wp}} *''[[Tetratheca neglecta]]''{{wp}} *''[[Tetratheca nephelioides]]''{{wp}} *''[[Tetratheca nuda]]''{{wp}} *''[[Tetratheca parvifolia]]''{{wp}} *''[[Tetratheca paucifolia]]''{{wp}} *''[[Tetratheca paynterae]]''{{wp}} *''[[Tetratheca phoenix]]''{{wp}} *''[[Tetratheca pilata]]''{{wp}} *''[[Tetratheca pilifera]]''{{wp}} *''[[Tetratheca pilosa]]''{{wp}} *''[[Tetratheca procumbens]]''{{wp}} *''[[Tetratheca pubescens]]''{{wp}} *''[[Tetratheca remota]]''{{wp}} *''[[Tetratheca retrorsa]]''{{wp}} *''[[Tetratheca rubioides]]''{{wp}} *''[[Tetratheca rupicola]]''{{wp}} *''[[Tetratheca setigera]]''{{wp}} *''[[Tetratheca shiressii]]''{{wp}} *''[[Tetratheca similis]]''{{wp}} *''[[Tetratheca stenocarpa]]''{{wp}} *''[[Tetratheca subaphylla]]''{{wp}} *''[[Tetratheca thymifolia]]''{{wp}} *''[[Tetratheca virgata]]''{{wp}} ==Gallery== {{photo-sources}}<!-- remove this line if there are already 3 or more photos in the gallery --> <gallery> Image:Upload.png| photo 1 Image:Upload.png| photo 2 Image:Upload.png| photo 3 </gallery> ==References== *[[Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture]], by L.
