Exocarpus nanus

Exocarpus nanus, commonly known as the small-fruited false mallow, is a shrub native to New South Wales, Tasmania, and Victoria in Australia. This plant thrives in light to partial sun and can tolerate both dry and moist conditions, making it adaptable to various soil types, particularly light (sandy) and medium-textured soils. Known for its edible fruit, Exocarpus nanus is a valuable resource for those interested in foraging or sustainable food sources. One distinctive feature of this plant is its small, often overlooked stature, which can make it an interesting addition to gardens where space is limited.
