General Species Information: Found on Ellura (in the Murray Mallee, SA), and elsewhere 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. | |||||
