General Species Information: Found on Ellura (in the Murray Mallee, SA) and elsewhere A very small pale / grey green plant; almost white in bright sunlight. It gets eaten, by summer, and then re-sprouts in winter. To see our first flower we had to protect one of the larger plants from grazing by kangaroos; we placed a dead bush over it. | |||||
