Peach Myrtle
Article Abstract:
A description is presented on the Peach Myrtle, or Uromyrtus Australis, a rare rain forest tree found only in the northeastern region of New South Wales, Australia. Its low numbers are suspected to be caused partly by forest harvesting and partly by the plant's specialized habitat needs; conservation prospects are good, as the Peach Myrtle is found mostly within Australia's national park system.
