Sclerophyll - a type of vegetation that has hard leaves and short internodes (the distance between leaves along the stem). The word comes from the Greek sclero (hard) and phyllon (leaf). Sclerophyllous plants occur in all parts of the world but are most typical of Australia. They are also prominent in the Mediterranean forests, woodlands, and shrub biome that covers the Mediterranean Basin, Californian woodlands, Chilean Matorral, the Cape Province of South Africa, southern Western Australia, and western Southern Australia.
