Zygophyllum apiculatum [Zygophyllum = of the Caltrop family, apiculatum = sharp pointed apex]
This plant has succulent fleshy leaves of two leaflets. The flowers are bright yellow, and the capsules are five-angled with a seed in each section. the plant seems unpleasant to stock, though sheep graze it sometimes when it is dry. The plant will grow on opal mine spoil and may be a useful coloniser in these areas.
