Hemiphora elderi Red Velvet Rare Endemic
This special plant is a low growing shrub vulnerable to attack by Kangaroos. It was the only plant I saw in the whole of our Australian holiday which had physical protection - a wire fence.
We were specifically asked not to reveal the location of this rare plant but without a helicopter and detailed recording of GPS references, I would never be able to describe its position in the middle of the bush if I wanted to.
