Betalains Caryophyllales | Ice Plant Aizoaceae | Lens Pigface Carpobrotus sp iNaturalist | RA e m |
Thank you Ralph Foster for identifying this species for us Large triangular, green to purple, succulent, vertical leaves. Brilliant purple flower with white centre. Sprawling habit that can completely cover square metres of ground. We thought this was C. modestus, but recently found an SA factsheet that indicates that the size of flower for C. modestus <= 20mm (ours are >35mm) and that C. modestus has 20-80 stamen (ours have 100-600) are diagnostic. This factsheet points to Carpobrotus rossii; so we renamed our species as this. Ralph then highlighted to us that the inland specimens of C. rossii are probably going to all be renamed; currently an undescribed species labelled Carpobrotus sp. Short calyx. Research is still ongoing to described them and provide morphological differences to separate out the two species. | ||||

Thank you Ernst Weiher for confirming the id of this species for us Has white or pink flowers. It's much hairier than it's relation, Aizoon pubescens, which is also introduced in Australia and seems more common. | ||||
Betalains Caryophyllales | Ice Plant Aizoaceae | Desert Spinach Tetragonia eremaea iNaturalist | LC e m | The flowers are tiny at only ~4mm tip to tip. As they are the same colour as the stem & leaf they are very hard to see. There are 2 flowers per leaf axis. | ||||

Myrtles Myrtales | Myrtle Myrtaceae | Muntries Kunzea pomifera iNaturalist | RA m c | Thank you Alan Dandie
for confirming the id of this species for us While classed as a "prostrate shrub", we think anyone coming to our web site to find out what this plant is would look under our "Vines" (creepers & climbers) page; hence it's current location. Let us know what you think. A typical white eucalypt / melaleuca type flower that Myrtales have, with red highlights; yet scattered around the ground. They are well known for their fruits/berries. | ||||
Buttercups Ranunculales | Buttercup Ranunculaceae | Old Man's Beard Clematis microphylla iNaturalist | LC e m f c | Thank you Alan Dandie
for confirming the id of this species for us Creamy large flowers with 4 long oval petals. Green leaves. New stems are green going dark reddish brown with age. |
