Centrolepis is a genus of small herbaceous plants in the family Centrolepidaceae, with about 25 species native to Australia, New Zealand, and south-east Asia extending to Hainan Dao [1]
Centrolepis species are all tufted plants with narrow leaves from the base. Flowers are tiny and wind-pollinated, in highly condensed inflorescences enclosed between a pair of bracts that often have leaf-like points.
