The discovery was made during a routine survey by the Victorian government's forest monitoring program, which examines more than 800 plots across the country to study the environmental impact of fire and floods. "When you do these surveys, you get to know the plants that are there all the time," Professor Entwisle said.
You do. A tad further south, we've named our favourites - eg., Barry and Bruce Banksia, and Karen X the grasstree whose leaves flop to one side :)
Seen today on a little walk in the south part of #Ottawa with @Kathryn Barr, some #wildflowers including morning glories and cornflowers

In mijn jeugd las ik jeugdboeken, waarin de botaniseertrommel nog voorkwam: de trommel waarin planten werden verzameld om een herbarium mee te maken. Ik heb nooit iemand met zo’n trommel gezien, ze waren toen al ouderwets vermoed ik. Voor school heb ik ooit nog wel een herbarium gemaakt.
Toen ik deze botaniseertrommel zag, moest ik ook denken aan de vroeger zeer bekende natuurvorser Jac. P. Thijsse, onder meer bekend van de Verkade-albums.<br clear="all"></br>

In botany, a berry is a fleshy fruit without a stone (pit) produced from a single flower containing one ovary. Berries so defined include grapes, currants, and tomatoes, as well as cucumbers, eggplants (aubergines) and bananas, but exclude certain fruits that meet the culinary definition of berries, such as strawberries and raspberries.
I did not know that!
