Rhagodia candolleana
A dense bush about 3 feet high with small shiny green short-stalked leaves, growing in clusters. The bush has beautiful slightly flattened ruby red berries. They are striking despite their size.
Coastal regions in most places in southern mainland Australia and Tasmania.
This plant is an Australian native. The cooked leaves of this bush are said to be edible. The berries, are said to be bitter but eaten by some indigenous people. The berries grow in dense clusters and I have seen them at different times of the year.
