Read about Tetratheca in the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture
Tetratheca (Greek, four and cell; the anthers are sometimes four-celled). 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. ^CH The above text is from the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture.
