Haemodorum corymbosum, commonly known as the rush-leaf bloodroot, is a shrub native to southeastern Australia. [1] Danish-Norwegian naturalist Martin Vahl described this species in his 1805 work Enumeratio Plantarum. [2]
It grows as a strappy herbaceous shrub 40–70 cm high, with three to four 40–75 cm long leaves arising from the base. These are narrow to terete and 1–1.5 mm in diameter. [1] Its roots contain a bright red pigment. Flowering occurs over the warmer months (October to January) and is profuse only after bushfire. [3] The brown-black flowers are 12–15 mm long and arranged in a corymb. [1]
Found in coastal areas from the Budawang Ranges to the vicinity of Gosford, [1] with one inland population at Agnes Banks, [3] Haemodorum corymbosum grows on sandy soils—occurring in swamps as well as sandstone ridges. It occurs with such woodland plants as Sydney red gum ( Angophora costata), sydney peppermint ( Eucalyptus piperita), scribbly gum ( E. sclerophylla), saw banksia ( Banksia serrata, and heathland plants such as dwarf apple ( Angophora hispida), scrub she-oak ( Allocasuarina distyla). [3]
