Thank you Dr Bevan Buirchell for confirming the id of this species for us General Species Information: Found on Ellura (in the Murray Mallee, SA) and elsewhere Reported to be normally up to 0.5m, but can reach as high at 1m tall. Finally worked out what this silvery "glabra" is that isn't like most of our other E. glabra's (which we've now labelled E. glabra ssp glabra). Notice the very non-glabrous (ie pubescent) stems, leaves & flowers! This pubescence is somewhat variable. The flowers on the bushes we have seem to have shorter flowers than our ssp glabra. Ours also seem to look quite silvery compared with our ssp glabra. | |||||
