Epacris longiflora, commonly known as the fuchsia heath, is a plant in the family Ericaceae and is endemic to eastern Australia. It is an erect or spreading shrub with egg-shaped, pointed leaves and red tube-shaped flowers which give the plant its name longiflora and are usually present throughout the year. Its native range extends from the central coast of New South Wales to southern Queensland. Epacris longiflora is an erect to spreading shrub which grows to a height of 50–200 cm and has stems with prominent short, broad leaf scars. The leaves are egg-shaped, 5.6–17 mm long, 3–6.6 mm wide with a pointed tip. The leaves are thin, flat and have margins with minute teeth. The flowers are red with a white tip, sometimes all red and have a peduncle up to 2 mm (0.08 in) long. There are five petals which are fused to form a tube with five lobes at the end. The stamens are hidden inside the tube. Flowering occurs throughout the year, although there are fewer flowers in summer. The fruits are capsules 3–4 mm long containing small, light seeds. Epacris longiflora was first formally described by Antonio José Cavanilles in 1797 and the description was published in Icones et descriptiones plantarum. Fuchsia heath is found on the coast and tablelands north from Berry and as far as south-eastern Queensland. It grows in sandy soil on cliff faces, in heath to woodland margins and in dry sclerophyll forest. Plants are thought to live 5–20 years in the wild. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epacris_longiflora
Burchardia umbellata (milkmaids) is a perennial herb native to woodlands and heath of eastern and southern Australia, known in all states. It typically flowers from September until November, in dry sclerophyll forests. The narrow leaves of Burchardia umbellata are up to 60 cm long by 1.5 to 4 mm wide. Clusters of white or pale pink flowers with reddish centers sit atop a thin stalk that is 50 to 60 cm high. Each flower measures about 2.5 cm wide. There is a cluster of up to ten carrot-shaped tubers at the base, each about 5 mm thick. Aborigines eat the potato-like tubers. The tubers can be eaten raw or cooked. They are white, fleshy, crisp, and starchy, with a nondescript flavor. The genus Burchardia is named for German botanist Johann Heinrich Burckhardt. The species name umbellata is Latin for "umbrella", referring to the umbels of flowers. Burchardia umbellata is rarely available in nurseries, but it can be propagated by seed and kept in containers. It requires moist, well-drained soils and sun or light shade. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burchardia_umbellata
Dianella revoluta, commonly known as the black-anther flax-lily, blueberry flax-lily or spreading flax-lily, is a perennial herb of the family Asphodelaceae, subfamily Hemerocallidoideae, found across the eastern states of Australia and Tasmania. It was first described in 1810 by Robert Brown. This is part of the genus Dianella. Estimates of the number of Dianella species range from 20 to more than 40. Dianella revoluta flowers in spring with a star-like purple flower which develops into a blue to purple berry. The berry fruit is reported to be edible. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dianella_revoluta
