23.01.2022 The WA herbarium have vowed to name 50 new plants this year - this is #44, found near a mine site (ironically, plants are often found when mining companies have to survey the land before they dig it up...) Anyhoo, this plant was co-named by Dr Trevor Wilson, who spoke on the first of three free webinars that are replacing the FJC Rogers seminar this year - don't miss next Thursday's speaker Maria Hitchcock OAM, who will talk on Propagation, cultivation, & essential oils of Prostanthera & Westringia. Register online at the APS Vic website.
