Prostrate /Ground Cover Small Shrubs to 1m Small Shrubs to 1m Medium Shrubs 1-2m Bushland Garden YORK,WA The Bushland Garden was established in 2004 as a way of show- york casing a range of Western Australia’s waterwise flora in the town of York, for the enjoyment of the community. The site was formerly a clay pit for Bushland Garden brickmaking during the town’s early days, and then was used as a disposal area for a hotel destroyed during the Meckering earthquake in the 1960s. Members of the York Branch of the Wildflower Society of WA are Acacia bidentata Enchylaena tomentosa Carpobrotus modestus Eremophila maculata Eremophila maculata Banksia fraseri Glischrocaryon aureum Grevillea bipinnatifida Grevillea pilulifera Acacia aphylla Acacia leptospermoides Acacia meisneri Prostrate, Fl Jul-Oct G/cover, Fl Mar Inland Pigface subsp. aurea Thundercloud Shrub to 0.6m, Fl Jun-Oct Common Popflower Fuschia Grevillea Woolly-flowered grevillea DRF Leafless Rock Wattle Shrub to 2m, Fl Jun-Aug Shrub to 4m, Fl Jun-Dec responsible for the ongoing development and maintenance of the Shrub to 1m, Fl Jun-Dec Identification Guide to Species Succulent, Fl Feb-Oct Shrub to 1m, Fl Jun-Dec Herb to 1m, Fl Summer/Spring Shrub to 1m, Fl May-Dec Shrub to 1m, Fl Feb-Sep Shrub to 2.5m, Fl Aug-Sep Garden. This project is funded from the proceeds of an annual plant sale held each May, of local species propagated by York Branch members. Only WA natives are grown, with an emphasis on Wheatbelt and Southwest species so that the brochure can be a valuable guide when deciding what to plant in a home garden in these areas. Many Declared Rare Flora (DRF) species are included. This classification signifies a species is rare in its natural environment.

Adelaide Bot. Gard. 1(2): 127-130 (1977) A NATURALLY OCCURRING PUTATIVE INTERSPECIFIC HYBRID IN EREMOPHILA (MYOPORACEAE) R. J. Chinnock State Herbarium, Botanic Gardens, North Terrace, Adelaide, South Australia 5000 and P. Hudson 13 James Street, Whyalla Norrie, South Australia 5608 Abstract A naturally occurring putative hybrid betweenEremophila oppositifoliaR.Br. andE. scoparia (R.Br.) F.Muell. was found at Whyalla, South Australia. The hybrid is morphologically intermediate in most characters between the two species and has a much increased pollen sterility. Illustrations, and a tabulated comparison, of the more important vegetative, floral and fruit features are provided for the hybrid and its parents. Introduction In June 1976, when assisting in the erection of a fence to enclose the newly established fauna park just west of Whyalla, one of the authors (P. H.) noted an Eremophila close to the western fenceline. The solitary plant was growing in association with Eremophila scoparia ( R. Br.) F. Muell. and E. oppositifolia R.Br. var. oppositifolia in an open Acacia sowdenii woodland on red sandy clay loam. Other common shrubs included A triplex vesicaria Hew. ex Benth.

    Shrubs Shrubs 86 87 biibaya Broom bush Language name biibaya (yuwaalaraay) Scientific name Melaleuca uncinata Plant location Shrubs The biibaya (Broom Bush) is widespread through mallee, woodland and forest in the western part of the Border Rivers and Gwydir catchments. It often grows on sandy soils. Plant description The biibaya is an upright shrub with many stems growing from the main trunk. It grows between 1 to 3 metres high. The bark on older stems is papery. It has long, thin leaves which look like the bristles on a broom. Many fruit join together in a cluster which looks like a globe. Traditional use Can you guess what this plant was used for from its common name? The stems and girran.girraa (leaves) of the biibaya provided a useful broom. Bungun (branches) can also be cut and dried for use in brush fences. Paperbark trees (plants belonging to the genus Melaleuca) had many other uses also. The papery nganda (bark) was used to wrap meat for cooking and as plates, as well as being used as bandages, raincoats, shelter, blankets, twine and many other things. The nectar from the gurayn (flowers) could be eaten or drunk, steeped in water, as a sweet drink. Crushing the girran.girraa provides oil. Young girran.girraa can be chewed, or pounded and mixed with water, to treat colds, respiratory complaints and headaches. This mixture was also used as a general tonic. Inhaling the steam from boiling or burning the leaves provides relief from cold, flu and sinusitis (Howell 1983, Stewart & Percival 1997). The gurayn were also used for decoration.
