| Species: | Nitre-bush (Nitraria billardierei)| This Photo: | Habit | Synonym: | Nitraria schoberi | Other names: | Dillon Bush, Native Grape, Nitre Bush or Wild Grape | Thank you Kitty and Tony for identifying this species for us General Species Information: Found on Ellura (in the Murray Mallee, SA), the Flinders Ranges, the Riverland and elsewhere Our one and only specimen (so far) is tucked behind a big Caletris, which has then had a major branch fall on it. So we've not been able to get a photo of the whole. Since it's so shady, we also suspect this is why there is no fruit on it.
