distribution_en:

description_en: Genus of at least 250 species of evergreen shrubs and trees, most native to Australia, a few native to Indonesia, New Guinea, and New Caledonia, found in woodland, rainforest, and more open habitats. The alternate leaves vary greatly and may be needle-like or broader, pinnatifid, pinnatisect, or pinnate, and boldly toothed. The petalless flowers, 0.5-2cm (1/4-3/4in) long, each consist of a coloured calyx tube that splits into 4 narrow, rolled-back, petal-like lobes, and long, straight or curved styles. The flowers are produced in simple or branched, terminal racemes or panicles, some one-sided, others cylindrical or feathery. In frost prone areas, grow in a cool or temperate greenhouse, or conservatory. Elsewhere, use as specimen plants or in a shrub border. All parts may aggravate skin allergies.

hardiness_en: Frost hardy to frost tender; some will survive to -7°C (19°F) if wood is well ripened in summer.
