Thank you Reiner Richter for confirming the id of this species for us General Species Information: Found in the Murray Mallee SA, Adelaide Hills and possibly elsewhere These range is size quite about as mature flowering plants. We've seen them from around only 30mm across to ~100mm. From prostrate to upright. This has all the haulmarks of a spurge; that fat little fruit forming in front of the flower. These have 5 white petals, flowering from Sept. | |||||
