Cultivation
We have very little information on this species and do not know if it will be hardy in this country. It is likely to require a light well-drained soil and a sunny sheltered position. It is a root parasite and will need to grow with its host, though we do not know which species it parasitizes.
Propagation
Seed - we have no information on this species but would recommend sowing it in spring in a warm greenhouse in a pot that contains a suitable host.
Edible uses
Fruit. Not particularly tasty.
Habitat
Alpine and sub-alpine tracts, occasionally above the tree line.
Native range
Australia - Tasmania.
