A few more pictures from field work; not sure if I will have internet again before Sunday.
The above picture shows the lookout over Scott Cove in the north-western corner of Kangaroo Island taken yesterday.
At that very place were two species of mint bush. This one is the aptly named Prostanthera spinosa (Lamiaceae). I do not yet know the name of the other one.
The last Kangaroo Island photo is this tiny sundew (Drosera, Droseraceae), but I don't know its species name either.
Today, however, we have worked in the Fleurieu Peninsula. This is the coast as seen from the cliff-tops of the Newland Head Conservation Park.
A little birdie wondering what those weird humans are doing in its habitat. Apparently a rosella, but a different species than the ones I know from Canberra.
Also found in the heath of Newland Head: Chrysocephalum apiculatum (Asteraceae).
Finally, Hindmarsh Falls, south of Adelaide. The area here south and south-east of Adelaide is much more lush and green than I expected from South Australia and reminds me rather more of Tasmania...
