Calotropis procera
Here is a thick petaled purple flower found at the base of the Carson Escarpment. Native to Africa, it was introduced to Australia as a feed for camels as they crossed the desert.
Seasonal grassland.
These were introduced from Africa for feed for camels in the desert because they survive the dry so well. They occur right throughout the dry inland to Victoria.
