Thank you Asimakis Patitsas for identifying this species for us

General Species Information:
Found in the Murray Mallee SA, Adelaide Hills and possibly elsewhere
The fact this has cones means it's a female as these are dioecious plants.
We thought this was Allocasuarina pusilla, but Asimakis had a second look and said "they have stalks and conical tips". The stalks are also called pendancles.

This species is classed as

LC (Least Concern)

in the Murray Mallee, SA, by DENR (Regional Species Status Assessments, July 2010)
