Sapling ~6 foot tall.
Reddish new growth.
Leaves opposite, coarsely toothed. Distinctive, pleasant fragrance when crushed.
Surprised to see a specimen of this species up relatively high on the ridge; although it was in a relatively protected, moist spot with a favourable SE aspect.

Unfortunately, there were no flowers.

Boronia sp.(species?).
I'm not sure if it's or B. floribunda B. pinnata in the absence of flowers, but leaning towards the former.

There was a compact ("unfurled") leaf bundle that had conspicuously emerged from the centre of this grasstree.
A light touch immediately separated the bundle into a new spray of fresh leaves (shown in last photo).
Leaves blue-green, glaucous, diamond shaped i.e transverse-rhombic in T.S/cross section.

A native violet growing halfway up a rock beside a track. Whilst flower colour and pattern are key distinguishing features in native violet identification, I narrowed it down to either Viola silicestris or V. hederacea, primarily using the leaves and decided on the former, after comparing leaves of nearby known specimens of both species. Leaf margin and lamina base and its attachment to the petiole differences were particularly useful.

Leaves alternate (although 2-ranked and pseudopinnate) with rounded tip, distinguishing it from the similar looking Indigofera australis, which has opposite leaflets, usually tipped with a small mucro.
Both species are found in this reserve.
Leaves dicolorous (paler below) and dry black.

patrick_campbellDescripción
Soft, lush, smooth, relatively vibrant green leaves compared to the surrounding grasses.
Surprisingly thick, fleshy roots that perhaps contribute to drought tolerance, as conditions are very dry yet this species is lush.
