| Curry
flower Lysinema ciliatum |
![]() |
Found only in the south-west,
the unusual white flowers have a distinctive curry aroma. A heath-like
shrub, it has a symbiosis with a fungus that abides in its roots
and assists with nutrient uptake from the poor soils in which
it grows. It grows to a metre high. |
