Description

I would estimate over 200 specimens throughout Ulladulla headland. May be native but I highly doubt they were naturally occurring here in this amount. I would guess they were planted in regeneration areas and have spread that way. Not normally found in high numbers in this area in my experience.

Only noticed a single flowering plant in a small unburnt patch within this heath, whcih was burnt in about May 2023. I have seen numerous seedlings of Cassytha glabella in burnt heath at other locations, but nothing here yet. At only c. 8 months post-fire it might be a bit early for them.

These plants are fruiting and the tapering base on the fruit shows they are C. defoliatum and not the similar C. sphaerocarpum. They are not entirely leafless; photo 6 shows a few small leaves at the base of the plant. Fairly common at c. 8 months after fire in this small heath patch.

Description

Resprouting at c. 8 months after fire in this small heath patch. The first few months were very dry, so recovery is not very advanced yet. Despite the appearance of a lot of seed having been shed, there weren't many seedlings, maybe 20-30, mostly immediately around the parent tree. The dry conditions immediately post-fire might have limited seedling establishment, and by the time it resumed raining in mid-Nov, most of the seed might have been consumed or succumbed to fungal activity. I'm not sure what sort of health the tree was in pre-fire, as I hadn't walked that route for a few years, and the 2017-20 drought might have knocked it around a bit. B. serrata was dying in droves in coastal forests in that period.

Resprouting from the base at c. 8 months after fire in this small heath patch. The first few months were very dry, so recovery is not very advanced yet. Also the heath was quite senescent pre-burn, which might have compromised the ability of the plants to resprout.

Description

In the unmown corner of Numeralla cemetery. This one appears to be genuine S. graminifolium and not just a narrow-leaved S. armeria, even though the leaves are 3mm wide, not the 2.5mm or less mentioned in the paper splitting this group (Raulings and Ladiges, Aust Systematic Botany 14, 2001). But it does have at least some of the other features of this species: leaves are slightly glaucous (often more so than this in my experience), regularly serrate over the whole leaf length, midrib prominent on the leaf underside, flowers white to pale pink.
