Item Detail
Summary
Book caption: The ground layer in mulga, apart from a few perennial grasses, consists of annuals and therefore varies with the season. Rainfall is erratic. If it is received in summer a crop of annual grasses is likely to respond. If it is received in winter the result is a crop of annual herbs, typically ‘everlastings’ of the daisy family Compositae (now called Asteraceae). These are at their peak in August when they can form continuous carpets of colour for hundreds of kilometres. In this scene the pink colour is provided by Schoenia cassiniana, the white by Cephalipterum drummondii and Helipterum spp. Paynes Find.
