Item Detail
Summary
Book caption: "Sand hills in the Great Victoria are vegetated differently from the intervening sandplains. An ericoid shrub Thryptomene maisonneuvei is normally dominant on the flanks of the dunes, ousting the spinifex or reducing it to a few scattered plants. The Rottnest pine Callitris preissii may be locally abundant and sometimes Eucalyptus gongylocarpa. Taller shrubs include Grevillea stenobotrya, Acacia ligulata, Gyrostemon ramulosus and Crotalaria cunninghamii which are universal desert dune plants throughout the Eremaea. South of Giles."
