[ID] A couple of natives

Post by MattA »

Over the last few years I have been doing a fair bit of experiments with collecting native material. One of last springs pieces is flowering so i thought I would take the opportunity to get a few ID's on some.

Hi Matt,

The first I have no idea about. Goodeniaceae maybe?

The second looks like Rutaceae due to the bumps. I am going to guess Philotheca hispidula.

The third is Lomandra obliqua.

Any more photos of the first?

Hey Joel,

Thanks heaps for the ID on the Lomandra, I dont think the second is Philotheca but shall wait till its flowering & then post more pics.

Heres the extra pic of the first plus another that you may be able to help with.

Hmmmm, still not sure on that first. I'll check my books later and get back to you.

The second is hard to tell without a flower, though it may be a species of Pultenaea, Gompholobium, Dillwynia or similar pea. My guess would be Gompholobium latifolium. Here is a key that may help if it is a Gompholobium species:

Hey Joel,

thanks for looking into it for me, I will wait till the others are in flower & get some more pics. I am starting to have more & more success with my natives following a few simple methods so expect more to come into the future.

It would be really cool if it is the Gompholobium or similar, there are a few of them that I have been eyeing off for ages but so far had no luck with, this could be my break into them.

Japh, if your reading this stop it & get back to work on that software :P
