Thank you Asimakis Patitsas for confirming the id of this species for us General Species Information: Found on Ellura (in the Murray Mallee, SA) and elsewhere Pretty little pink flower (about the size of a finger-nail) with green leaves and runners that can climb. The flower has a unique way of opening by "unfolding"; as it is a single petal. The fold lines are plainly visible. It gives it the appearance of an origami (paper) flower. | |||||
