Hairy Mulla Mulla
Ptilotus helipteroidesOne of the dainty looking mulla mulla with a
purple-red or deep pink to lilac pussytail, that starts with a globular shape
and a tuft at the top, then elongating slightly to about 3 x 2 cm. The flower
appears on a long stem, well above the leaves. Found growing on stony ground,
low slopes to red sand, this is an ephemeral herb that appears after rain. |
