EXTRA - Photo Specific Information: The 2 on the left are S. a. ssp zygophylla, while the 3 on the right are S. a. ssp coriacea General Species Information: Found on Ellura (in the Murray Mallee, SA) and elsewhere Very similar to the other S. artemisioides. Most closely similar to ssp coriacea. Notice however the leaflets are narrower and more pointed. The name is a bit of a misnomer as well. There are usually 4-6 leaflets, not two. They are classed as rare, but are not listed in the Murraylands Survey. We have lost the specimens (not recognising what they were at the time), so are on the look out for it to take better measurements. | |||||
