DaveO Posted January 25, 2020 Author Share Posted January 25, 2020 Yes, the leaves and branches are stiff and rough. Link to comment
Andrea B. Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Australia has such an amazing array of interesting flowers. And seems to have quite a lot of "fluffy" flowers. It is time for me to update the Australian List I once made for the reference section. Link to comment
DaveO Posted January 28, 2020 Author Share Posted January 28, 2020 Andrea, This may surprise you, here in Oz herbaria are a state (eg. Victoria, NSW) concern so in fact a plant may be known by different names in different states: Australian Herbariahttps://www.anbg.gov.au/chabg/bg-dir/herbaria.html Council of Heads of Australasian Herbaria (CHCH)https://www.chah.gov.au/ Herbaria in the digital agehttps://www.australiangeographic.com.au/topics/science-environment/2017/06/herbaria-bring-centuries-old-science-into-the-digital-age/ Before you rush off to update your list, check if the "Splitters" and "Lumpers" have been busy.
