Billardiera coriacea is a twining shrub or climber in the family Pittosporaceae and native to the south-west of Western Australia.[3] It grows on lateritic soils and clay. Its white-cream-yellow, or purple flowers may be seen from May to November.[3]
Like other members of the genus Billardiera, the flowers are 5-merous and hermaphroditic, with a perianth consisting of a distinct calyx and corolla, and with anthers which shed their pollen via a longitudinal slit.[4] The ovary is superior and has parietal placentation.[4]
