Description

Dodonaea coriacea is an erect to spreading, andromonoecious or gynomonoecious shrub that typically grows to a height of 0.3–1.5 m (1 ft 0 in – 4 ft 11 in). Its leaves are simple and sessile, egg-shaped to lance-shaped with the narrower end towards the base, 14–30 mm (0.55–1.18 in) long and 5–9 mm (0.20–0.35 in) wide. The flowers are arranged in panicles on the ends of branches, each flower on a pedicel 6.5–11.5 mm (0.26–0.45 in) long. The four or five sepals are lance-shaped to egg-shaped, 1.6–2.4 mm (0.063–0.094 in) long and persist until the fruiting stage. Each flower has four or five stamens and the ovary has soft hairs. The fruit is a three-winged, elliptic capsule 11.5–18.5 mm (0.45–0.73 in) long and 13.5–18 mm (0.53–0.71 in) wide, with membranous wings 3.5–5.5 mm (0.14–0.22 in) wide.
