Alyogyne huegelii Lilac Hibiscus Endemic
Searching the greenery near one of the car parks in this national reserve I found a very tall (it can be up to 4 metres in height), alien looking plant with mallow-like leaves. It turned out to be one of the many Alyogyne species which are actually native to Western Australia and I was right it is a member of the Malvaceae family.
Alyogyne huegelii is mostly found near the coast from Shark Bay down to the Margaret River area but not very far inland.
