Dear Lep-lovers

I'm posting this on behalf of a friend of mine, Dr. G. Beccaloni of the
Natural History Museum, London. Wonder if anyone can help him get growth
form information [herb, shrub, tree] for the following Australian plant
species. He'd also like typical mature heights of these too, please.  He's
been unable to find anything in the literature so far...
