Typical vegetation at the western edge of the Nullarbor Plain – Silver grey ‘bluebush’,  Dark green ‘copperburr’ and samphires form an understory; with tall gimlet and salmon gums, also blackbutt, wattles and tea trees.

A boronia ?  Peter would say that the fragrance of Brown Boronia in bloom, carried for miles in WA and posted me a cutting in 1959.   Sadly we have not come across this plant.
