Carmichaelia australis   native broom

Life Form:
Seeds are distributed when the seed pod bursts and seeds travel a short distance

Flowers Seeds Dispersal:
The seeds are distributed when the seed pod bursts so seed travels only short distances, compared to wind and bird dispersed seed. For this reason we have a large number of very localised species

Habitat:
This is a very unusual plant.The adult has tiny inconspicuous leaves. Instead of leaves the stems are flattened to catch the sunlight. This native broom grows in shrublands and forest margins where it prefers full sunlight
