Dodonaea petiolaris

Dodonaea petiolaris is a shrub species in the genus Dodonaea found in Australia.

Description

It is an erect shrub, 1–2(–5) m high living on sandy and loamy soils, on rocky hillsides and ridges.[1] The seed possesses a water gap explaining its dormancy.[2]

Chemicals

Dodonaea petiolaris yields the diterpene ent-3β-acetoxy-15,16-epoxylabda-8(17),13(16),14-trien-18-oic acid (C22H28O6) or its enantiomer.[3]

Distribution

The species occurs in Western Australia, South Australia, the Northern Territory, Queensland and New South Wales.[4]
