Kings Park & Botanic Garden ran a botanical expedition along the CSR last year. The botanist on that trip had a crack at naming the plants based on the photos supplied. See below:
1. Xanthorrhoea thorntonii
2. Grevillea eriostachya (Flame Grevileea)
3. Grevillea wickhamii (Wickham's Grevillea)
4. Calytrix exstipluata (
Kimberley Heather)
5. Aluta maisonneuvei (used to be Thryptomene maisonneuvei)
6. Ptilotus axillaris (Mat Mulla Mulla)
7. Dunno, can't tell from the picture. Could be a cassia I suppose
8. Allocasuarina decaisneana (Desert Oak)
9. Grevillea wickhamii
10. Eucalyptus pachyphylla (Thick leaved mallee) - I think - ie, this is my best guess (not grandifolia, as this is a NE
Kimberley species, around Kunnunurra way)
11. Ptilotus marduguru
12. Corymbia, but as to which species, hard to say. One of
the Desert Bloodwoods (possibly Corymbia termanalis)
