Apophyllum anomalum [Apophyllum = very few leaves, anomalum = differing from the general pattern]
A tough shrub with small narrow leaves, and cream fragrant flowers in clusters, and a small black berry fruit. It is drought resistant and doesn't mind lopping. The young branches and berries are browsed by stock. In November and December this plant is host to the black and white migratory Caper White butterflies, and their larvae frequently cause much damage.
Family CAPPARACEAE
Keep a look out for macropods (kangaroos and wallabies) in this area.
