    Does anyone have any ideas about this one? It's an evergreen and it was growing in shade, but that may not necessarily be it's preference. The foliage is Choisya-like but rather thick and dark. The whole plant is aromatic and although I didn't see any flowers it seems almost certain to be in the Rutaceae.

    Geoff, this looks like Acradenia frankliniae, a Tasmanian endemic.

    Thanks, Tony. That looks very much like it. I'll have to wait for the flowers to be sure.
