12th October - Cheiranthera alternifolia - Finger Flower

Cheiranthera



Description:
Cheiranthera belongs to the pittosporum family. It seems to be becoming harder to find.


Flowering:
Flowers September - November


Threats:
The problem with this plant is that it fits in a special place through succession. It needs a clear area to germinate and yet does not last long after the bush thickens up.


Management:
I have found that this plant thrives if the area is mown about every five years.
