Abstract
Certain Tasmanian plants of the Austral-Montane formation are characterised
by a peculiar life-form and are described as 'cushion' or 'bolster' plants. These
plants grow in dense tufts and make hard convex patches on the ground. Each
may be several feet across, forming a compact mass that is firm underfoot. Phyllachne Colensoi (Berggren), belonging to the family Stylidiaceae, is a
cushion plant similar in habit to four plants that are common on Tasmanian
mountains.
