Summary
Book caption: "On the other hand some soils on higher ground may consist of little but dense laterite, and this carries the bizarre ‘blackboy heath’ given character by scattered Xanthorrhoea drummondii as the only tall plants in a low heath of extremely hard, sclerophyllous plants, typically Dryandra and Hakea species with numerous sedges and restioids."
