  1. Bruce Robertson  Sorry people but this is not a Pacific Gull. Look at the slit nostril and the white tips to the primary feathers.

  2. • Giorgio De Nola  Please suggest the correct name Bruce.

  2. • Giorgio De Nola  Not as far as I know Bruce. I am not aware of that group, I assume by your question that they may be interested.

  1. Russell Best  Were they all white-flowered or just this one? They are usually pink.

     Reply • 21 Aug 2014

  2. • Kevin Sparrow  They are all white and only occur at Port Fairy. They are under threat by introduced Sicilian Sea Lavender and recently have been damaged by the high tides but are still there and will come back. Some on Griffiths Island too.

  3. Unknown  Scientific name is now Salvia africana-lutea

     Reply • 27 Feb 2014

  5. Unknown  Seems to be the only place in Vic where this is recorded as an established weed. It is still called S. aurea in APC and VBA but there are refs to a name change on the web, including RGB Sydney. I can also find refs saying "Salvia aurea - previously known as Salvia africana-lutea" so I will wait for the Aus scientists to catch up!
