Elatostema grande is a flowering plant in the nettle family. The specific epithet alludes to the relatively large leaves and inflorescences.[1]
It is a fleshy, perennial herb straggling to 50cm (20inches). The broadly and obliquely oblanceolate-elliptic leaves are usually NaNcm (-2,147,483,648inches) long and NaNmm wide. The male inflorescences are NaNmm in diameter, on NaNmm peduncles; the female inflorescences are NaNmm in diameter [1]
The species is endemic to Australia’s subtropical Lord Howe Island in the Tasman Sea. It is uncommon but widespread in the southern forests of the island, with a preference for mesic habitats.[1]
