Triumfetta clementii is a shrub species that occurs in the north-west of Western Australia. It has an erect, spreading habit, growing to between 0.15 and 0.6 metres high. Yellow flowers appear between May and October in the species' native range. [1]

The taxon was first formally described by Czech botanist Karel Domin in 1930 in Bibliotheca Botanica , based on a collection by Emile Clement between the Ashburton and De Grey Rivers. Domin gave it the name Triumfetta bartramia var. clementii. It was promoted to species status in 1997. [2] The World Checklist of Selected Plant Families has not established Triumfetta clementii as an accepted name. [3]

Acacia inaequilatera, commonly known as kanji bush, baderi, camel bush, fire wattle, kanyji bush or ranji bush is a tree in the family Mimosaceae. Endemic to Australia, it is widely distributed in the semi-arid Triodia country eastwards from Karratha, Western Australia into the Northern Territory.

<i>Banksia sessilis</i> A shrub or tree in the family Proteaceae widespread throughout southwest Western Australia

Banksia sessilis, commonly known as parrot bush, is a species of shrub or tree in the plant genus Banksia of the family Proteaceae. It had been known as Dryandra sessilis until 2007, when the genus Dryandra was sunk into Banksia. The Noongar peoples know the plant as budjan or butyak. Widespread throughout southwest Western Australia, it is found on sandy soils over laterite or limestone, often as an understorey plant in open forest, woodland or shrubland. Encountered as a shrub or small tree up to 6 m (20 ft) in height, it has prickly dark green leaves and dome-shaped cream-yellow flowerheads. Flowering from winter through to late spring, it provides a key source of food—both the nectar and the insects it attracts—for honeyeaters in the cooler months, and species diversity is reduced in areas where there is little or no parrot bush occurring. Several species of honeyeater, some species of native bee, and the European honey bee seek out and consume the nectar, while the long-billed black cockatoo and Australian ringneck eat the seed. The life cycle of Banksia sessilis is adapted to regular bushfires. Killed by fire and regenerating by seed afterwards, each shrub generally produces many flowerheads and a massive amount of seed. It can recolonise disturbed areas, and may grow in thickets.
