Ripogonum elseyanum |
Ripogonum elseyanum, commonly known as hairy supplejack, is a climbing vine, or sometimes a shrub, native to coastal rainforests of New South Wales and Queensland, Australia. [1] [2] [3]
The species was named by Mueller to honour the surgeon and naturalist, Joseph Ravenscroft Elsey (1834–1857), who was with Mueller on the 1856 expedition led by Augustus Gregory. [4]
