"Widespread and common, in Qld grows on rocks and rainforest trees, particularly Hoop Pine (Araucaria cunninghamii), in the ranges along stream banks and in mangroves; in s. NSW it grows almost exclusively on Swamp Oak (Casuarina glauca) and is locally common in coastal districts; flowers are strongly scented. RECOG. Stems zig-zagged; leaves terete; flowers uncrowded, white, cream, or greenish with red or purple central stripes. HYB. With D. mortii."[1]

D. teretifolia is easy to identify even when not flowering, as the leaves grow to 60cm long by 8mm thick and are pendulous and ungrooved, while the stems zig-zag at each branch.[2]
