xanthorrhoea

Xanthorrhoea is important to the Aboriginal people who live where it grows.

Xanthorrhoea grass trees and some species of orchids only flower after fire.

Xanthorrhoea may be cultivated, as seed is easily collected and germinated.

The Palm House also features a 400 year old Xanthorrhoea .

Kingia and Xanthorrhoea are biologically quite distinct and are not closely related.

Xanthorrhoea is endemic to Australia.

Kingia and Dasypogon are unrelated Australian plants with a similar growth habit to Xanthorrhoea.

Xanthorrhoea resinosa (syn.

The crest beneath the banner includes the seven pointed Australian Commonwealth Star and a formalised representation of West Australian Xanthorrhoea.

Many plants from the genera Banksia, Darwinia, Grevillea, Leucopogon, Verticordia and Xanthorrhoea are susceptible.

Xanthorrhoea minor is a species of grasstree of the genus Xanthorrhoea native to south-eastern Australia.

Xanthorrhoea is a genus of flowering plants native to Australia and a member of family Xanthorrhoeaceae, being the only member of subfamily Xanthorrhoeoideae.

Other flowers visited include those of Banksia, Xanthorrhoea, Hardenbergia violacea, Tristania, Leptospermum, Aotus, Cassia and Leucopogon.

In South Australia, Xanthorrhoea is commonly known as yakka, also spelled yacca and yacka, a name probably from a South Australian Aboriginal language, mostly likely Kaurna.

Thus, while a five-metre-tall member of the fastest growing Xanthorrhoea may be 200 years old, a member of a more slowly-growing species of equal height may have aged to 600 years.

Xanthorrhoea media, known as a Grass Tree, or Gulgadya in the Cadigal language, is a mid-sized plant in the genus Xanthorrhoea.

Consequently, they are key pollinators of many flowering plant species, many of which are endemic to Australia such as Banksia, Hakea, Xanthorrhoea (Yacka), and Acacia.

In the foreground is illustrated the granite outcrops characteristic of the geology of the region, and the distinctive plant genera, including Banksia, Zamia, Xanthorrhoea, Kingia and Nuytsia.

At home, Ms. Donahue made a pond in the shape of a hand and then went to town with everything from fish (which the raccoons like to eat) to plants of a dreamy blue color, like the Australian tree xanthorrhoea.

Its occurrence is a characteristic of two other Marri (Corymbia calophylla) communities, but the Marri/Xanthorrhoea community is distinguished by the drier soils of the communities range along the eastern edge of the Swan Coastal Plain.

Preiss is commemorated in the names of about 100 species of flora in Western Australia, including plants in the genera Acacia, Allocasuarina, Eucalyptus, Grevillea, Hakea, Kunzea, Melaleuca, Santalum, Xanthorrhoea and Callitris.

However, later anatomical and phylogenetic research has supported the view of Dahlgren who regarded Xanthorrhoea as the sole member of his family Xanthorrhoeaceae sensu stricto, which is now treated as the subfamily Xanthorrhoeoideae of a much more broadly defined family Xanthorrhoeaceae.

A review of the systematics of the group, using anatomical and molecular data, led to the conclusion that four of the 10 genera should be placed in the family Dasypogonaceae and five in the family Lomandraceae, leaving only Xanthorrhoea in Xanthorrhoeaceae prior to the APG expansion.
