Cryptandra
''Cryptandra'' is a genus of flowering plants family Rhamnaceae and is endemic to Australia. Most plants in the genus ''Cryptandra'' are spiny, heath-like shrubs with small, clustered leaves and flowers crowded at the ends of branches, the flowers are usually small, surrounded by brown bracts, and with tube-shaped hypanthium, the petals hooded over the anthers. Taxonomy The genus ''Cryptandra'' was first formally described in 1798 by James Edward Smith in the '' Transactions of the Linnean Society of London''. The genus name means "hidden man", referring to the stamens. List of species The following is a list of species of ''Cryptandra'' accepted by the Australian Plant Census as at August 2022: * '' Cryptandra alpina'' Hook.f. (Tas.) * ''Cryptandra amara'' Sm.
