Note that Jackie Miles has identified the plants she photographed that illustrate tis fact shheet as Billardiera heterophylla.
Billardiera fusiformis can be distinguished from Billardiera heterophylla by the following differences:
▪ Billardiera fusiformis generally has a climbing or twining habit (rarely shrubby) and its relatively narrow (i.e. linear to narrowly elliptic) adult leaves are entire and almost stalkless. Its flower sepals are all about the same size and its anthers are noticeably longer than their filaments. Its fruit are somewhat spindle-shaped (i.e. fusiform).
Billardiera heterophylla generally has a shrubby habit with some climbing stems and its relatively broad (i.e. elliptic to ovate) adult leaves are finely toothed and borne on short stalks (2-3 mm long). Its flower sepals are of different sizes and its anthers are about the same length as their filaments. Its fruit are cylindrical in shape.”
Billardiera fusiformis is listed in the following regions:
Southern Highlands | South Coast | Gippsland
