Orchard lears fruit

摘要

The prickly honeysuckle (Lambertia cchinata subsp. echinafa) is known from only several small groups of plants in Cape Le Grand National Park, east of Esperance. It inhabits windswept coastal slopes and occurs in sandy loams over granite among coastalheaths rich in species from the families Myrtaceae (eucalypts, peppermints, paperbarks and claw flowers) and Proteaceae (bankias and hakeas). Its leaves have long sharp points and the woody fruits are beaked. The trumpet-shaped flowers occur from late winter to late spring and are predominantly bird-pollinated. Most plants occur near the crystal clear, sparkling waters of Lucky Bay, one of Western Australia's most beautiful beaches.
