Anopterus glandulosus, commonly known as Native Laurel or Tasmanian Laurel, is a slow-growing evergreen shrub or small tree endemic to the cool temperate rainforests and wet sclerophyll forests of Tasmania. It is typically found at elevations below 3,937 feet (1,200 meters). This species can reach up to 33 feet (10 meters) in height and is characterized by its large, glossy, dark green leaves with serrated edges and prominent midribs. From late spring to autumn, it produces showy clusters of white or pink bell-shaped flowers that are attractive to pollinators.

Native Laurel is valued for its ornamental features, including its lush foliage and the striking contrast of its flowers against the dark leaves. It is suitable for use in shaded garden areas, as a feature plant, or for creating a dense hedge. It thrives in moist, well-drained soils rich in organic matter and prefers a position in part shade to full shade. While it is relatively easy to cultivate and maintain, it may require protection from strong winds and frost. Native Laurel is not known for significant pest or disease problems, but it can be sensitive to overly dry conditions.CC BY-SA 4.0
