This species grows in sandy swamps in south-eastern Australia, including Tasmania. It is very attractive in flower, covered in white five-petalled flowers. The fruit are hard woody capsules, retained on the shrub. In this species, the capsules have a woolly coating, giving rise to the common name. It is usually a large spreading shrub, but in wet swamps, can grow to a tall slender tree of up to 18 metres. It is common in cultivation and I grew one when I lived in Tasmania, which did very well and flowered well each year.
