}}Alyxia squamulosa, commonly known as alyxia vine, is a species of shrub in the Apocynaceae family. It is endemic to Australia’s subtropical Lord Howe Island in the Tasman Sea. The specific epithet derives from the many bracteoles, or ‘scales’ (Latin: squamae, with the diminutive suffix -ulus) that subtend the flowers.[1] The plant previously known as Alyxia lindii is considered a taxonomic synonym of A. squamulosa, being reassigned in 2002.[1] DescriptionThe plant has a tendency to climb. Its leaves grow in whorls of five and are 2–5 cm long, 1.5–2.5 cm wide. The fetid white flowers are about 7 mm long, clustered in dense, rounded, terminal inflorescences 2–4 cm in diameter. The fruits are drupaceous, blue-black and about 2 cm long.[1] Distribution and habitatThe plant is found only on Lord Howe Island, on the lower hills of the island, as well as the higher southern peaks.[2] References1. ^{{cite web|url=https://biodiversity.org.au/nsl/services/instance/apni/828176|title=Alyxia lindii|accessdate=27 June 2017|work=Biodiversity.org.au|year=2002|publisher=Commonwealth of Australia}} {{Taxonbar|from=Q15391302}}{{Apocynaceae-stub}}{{Australia-asterid-stub}}2. ^1 2 {{cite web |url= http://www.anbg.gov.au/abrs/online-resources/flora/stddisplay.xsql?pnid=52876|title= Alyxia squamulosa C.Moore & F.Muell.|accessdate=2014-01-22 |work=Flora of Australia Online (Data derived from Flora of Australia Volume 49 (1994)) |first= |last= |publisher=ABRS |year= }} 4 : Alyxia|Flora of Lord Howe Island|Gentianales of Australia|Plants described in 1873 |
