Species of Triplarina occur in New South Wales and Queensland usually growing in woodland or forest.
==Description== Plants in the genus Triplarina are shrubs with small leaves arranged in opposite pairs, sometimes with wavy or finely-toothed edges, and oil-dots visible on the lower surface. The flowers are arranged in leaf axils, sometimes in pairs and the flowers have five sepals, five petals and fourteen to eighteen stamens. The sepals remain attached to the fruit but the petals that are white to deep pink and more or less round are lost as the fruit develops. The ovary is half-inferior and has three locules, each containing eight to thirteen ovules, and the fruit is a capsule containing kidney-shaped seeds.
