Oysterplant seems relatively tolerant of the allelopathic chemicals (compounds that prevent other plants from growing) put out by Australian pine. If your yard is shaded by these trees and you are having trouble getting anything to grow under them, try oysterplant and Madagascar periwinkle, too.
Oysterplant grows commonly around ancient Mayan sites in Guatemala, Yucatan and Belize, and probably was cultivated for use as a cosmetic.
