• Plantago muelleri Star Plantain

  Scapes short at flowering stage so that flowers are among leaf bases - scapes elongating after flowering so fruit held well above the leaves.

• Tanyscelis maculata

  27 Feb 2015 • -37.9,145.3 • Leuba Ridgway

  These are scale insect galls seen on the adaxial side of the leaf . The broad-based conical outgrowths are female galls. There were two of these, one at the base of the leaf base and another along the main vein. the gall was purplish and had a ring near the base. One of the galls showed two openings and the other a single smooth circular orifice. Also on the leaf surface were many upright tubular structures with apical openings with crenulated margins. These were male galls and they were tinged red. Spotted on a eucalyptus tree - ? species. Nature reserve. My thanks to Dr L.Cook for confirming genus and identifying the species.

  1. Chris Lindorff  Hi Leuba. I've added this species name to the database and included Opisthoscelis maculata as a synonym. The ALA is yet to pick up on this new genus (published in 2010). Thanks. Chris.

  I think it might be in flower - see curious-looking object in the bottom-left of second pic. Distinctive bristle hairs can be seen on some upper leaf surfaces in 2nd pic.
