Although similar in appearance, they differ in leaf length and curvature. Both have a restricted range, with P.&nbsp;t.&nbsp;terminalis found in an area of under 100 square kilometres (39 square miles). P.&nbsp;terminalis grows to 1.5 metres (5 feet), with an upright or spreading habit, and narrow, short leaves up to 1 centimetre (0.4 inches) in length. The yellow flowers mainly appear in December and January (Australia&#8217;s temperate zone summer), and are followed by purple-striped green drupes (stone fruit).
