Dianella revoluta
1 meter shrub, ridged leaves, purple shiny berries
Dry brush, elevated location
These berries are edible and were also used as a dye and ulcer treatment by the Tasmanian Aborigines.
Thanks so much, Lori! Yes I'd love to see it in flower too. I came across it geocaching up in ridgeway. Was great to found out why it was so quickly!
Kind regards
Matt
Hi Matthew, welcome to NOAH. I live in the Southern Midlands and we get a lot of this growing at our place as well. I Think I have some photos of this plant in flower and will post them anon. If you have any questions or need help just drop me a line. Cheers, Lori.
Yes it's beautiful. It's been identified now so I'll have to put the details up. :)
