Habitat and ecology<br />

L. acutiflorum is a light demanding species commonly found in gap vegetation and in<br />

open areas. This species <strong>of</strong>ten occurs in seasonally-inundated and swamp forest,<br />

although it is also found in drier, exposed sites. L. acutiflorum responds well to<br />

selective logging and will colonise recently disturbed soil particularly on skid trails<br />

and roadsides.<br />
