Eriostemon apricis

Description

Plants in the genus Eriostemon are shrubs or small trees which have their thinnest branches, leaves and petals covered with fine star-like hairs (although the hairs may only be visible with a magnifying glass). The leaves are arranged alternately along the branches and are simple leaves with smooth edges. The leaves are 17�80 mm (0.7�3 in) long, 5�17 mm (0.2�0.7 in) wide and have three or five main veins. The flowers are arranged singly in leaf axils, and about 12�15 mm (0.5�0.6 in) in diameter. There are five separate sepals and five petals with their edges overlapping. There are ten stamens, all with hairy filaments.
