There was a great deal of this shrub by the side of the roads leading in and out of Kalbarri as well as on the Brand Highway from Geraldton onwards and this coastal strip is where most of it is to be found.

At this time of the year most of it is in bud with the distinctive brown buds easily seen from the car. All the shrubs we saw were over 4m tall and only the flowers at the top were beginning to show. This must make a spectacular sight from late September to October but its quoted flowering period is very long: from July to December.
