Xanthorrhora glauca 10 seeds

Xanthorrhora glauca occurs in large numbers on rocky areas in southeastern Australia.
Habitat and ecology: It can occasionally be seen in large communities in the forest on steep edges and sides of gorges, mainly in shallow rich basalt soil and at some sites in serpentine soil or sandstone. It is also found in deep coastal sand and hilltop grassland with very sparse shrub. The plants are highly fire resistant and are among the first to resprout after wildfire as the live growth is buried within the old dead leaf bases. The nectar-rich flowers attract many insects. There is some overlap of characters between the subspecies where their distributions lie. Populations on the dunes hybridize with Xanthorrhora pivots and Xanthorrhora latzfolia in several short-range hybrid swarms.
