Anisotome procumbens, the mountain celery,[2] is a small, perennial herb endemic to the Australia State of Tasmania.[3] It is primarily found in high-elevation habitats in the west and south-west of the island.[4]
Taxonomy
Anisotome procumbens was first described as Gingidium procumbens by Ferdinand von Mueller from plants collected at Mount La Perouse, Tasmania by A. Oldfield.[5]
Description
Anisotome procumbens is a mat- or cushion-forming perennial herb with glossy, bright green, deeply divided leaves in a basal rosette and an umbellate inflorescence typical of the family. Some of the dolerite mountaintops of south-eastern Tasmania, such as Adamsons Peak and Hartz Peak have healthy populations of A. procumbens. At these locations, individual mats can reach over 2 m in diameter.[4]
