There are 5 photos of Eryngium expansum added to the page. Eryngium expansum is a beautiful, small perennial shrub, which should be more widely grown in rockeries or border beds in full sun to dappled light. Even in its natural habitat it has a charming air about it that makes me feel where can I add it to my garden.

Thought I only required the fruiting pods of Glycine macrophylla so only took photos of the pods and one of the leaf.

Despite finding Gratiola pedunculata in two locations within Ramourni National Park our photos depict the great variation in the foliage and stem hairs showing how a single species can have great variation even when growing in close proximity.

The second part of the day’s walk was through a pasteur of Dichelachne micrantha, a native grass that unfortunately attracts stray cattle from neighbouring properties, which are doing a lot of damage along the rills and creeks.

While I am on “D” I can add new photos of my favourite plants, ferns with 2 new photos of Dictymia brownii and 4 new photos of Doodia australis.

John and I spent another great day out at Ramourni National Park. Alectryon subcinereus is the first native we came across. Two new photos of Alyxia ruscifolia showing the habitat and form of the shrub. The photo of trunk replaces the one already on the web being a better photograph. An unusual fern was seen displaying both sporangia and bulbils in Asplenium attenuatum.

Crassula sieberiana showing the small flowers.

Brachychiton bidwillii being pollinated with a native bee, Tetragonula carbonaria.

Found a large Bracypterum involutum vine and have transfer the files over from its synonym of Derris involuta.

Antidesma eriostre Author’s Garden The Pinnacles NSW

Antidesma erostre seeds found beneath the shrubs had desiccated fruits with the hard woody seeds still inside.

Here are the last four photos taken at Ramournie National Park for this walk however next week may see a lot more when we again ventre there. Haloragis heterophylla is a small inconspicuous herb with unusual foliage that blends into its surroundings within its habitat. There is one photo of the green fruit on Melichrus urceolatus. We located two Solanum species close together. Solanum opacum now has the green fruits and mature stem included while Solanum stelligerum depicts the variant whose stems are covered in thorns.
