	Class:	Plant (Plantae) - Shrubs & Bushes
	Order:	Malpighiales
	Family:	Spurge (Euphorbiaceae)
	Species:	Felted Wallaby-bush (Beyeria lechenaultii)
	This Photo:	Female Flower
	General Species Information: Found on Ellura (in the Murray Mallee) Very similar to the Smooth Wallaby-bush. Leaves are thicker and slightly curved (so they "wrap around" on the back instead of being flat). Branches are more orange. The most striking difference is the red buds & "petals" on the flowers. We only have a few of these compared to an abundance of Smooth.
