Took the following photos about 2 weeks ago whilst up at and around
Elachbutting Rock (WA) which is some 70kms north of
Mukinbudin. Not being a trained person am trying to identify any of the species................ the bush one with small white flowers has a strong vanilla odour

Hi Kevmac,
I'll have a go:
1. Hakea (if it is the same as 2) need a closeup of flowers to be sure
2. Hakea
3. looks like a weed
4. Possibly Rhodanthe, or Pink Sunray, an everlasting or paper daisy (not an orchid)
5. ?
6. Waitzia, another everlasting daisy
7. same as 3
8. Lichen which as an algae and a fungus that grows together
9. need a closeup of the flowers to identify.
Cheers,
Val

I don't think the first two are hakea. The second one is a type of grevillia I think.... there are lots in the wheatbelt that are not obviously grevillia.

Hi Bill,
Yes I think you are right, its a Grevillea. Need to see a seed pod to be sure.
Cheers,

Hi Kev.
My navigator says:
photo A and B - could possibly be a Grevillea?
photo D not sure if an orchid but maybe a Schoenia or Rhodanthe (the paper daisies)
photo E is Isotoma petraea
Rock Isotome - very widespread in WA - we've seen it just about everywhere there's a brown coloured
rock -
Carnarvon Rng, Grt Western
Woodlands, GVD etc.
photo F agree Waitzia acuminata
photo I possibly Maireana triptera Three-winged Bluebush.
Cheers.
