> Hi All,
> I?m hoping somebody might be able to point me in the right direction
> regarding the ID of a flowering shrub on the northern islands of
> Torres Strait, QLD. When flowering it is visited by both Dusky and
> Red-headed Honeyeaters.
> Most specimens are 2-3 m tall, woody (not brittle) with numerous
> short, sharp,  slightly curved spines that project off the branchlets.
> The flowers are small white, rather furry/fluffy on the upper surface
> of the petal. Each flower appears to have either four or five petals.
> Flowering has been observed in November when unripe green fruits are
> also present. On Boigu Island it grows in a disturbed area immediately
> adjacent to mangroves. The area is probably inundated by extreme
> spring tides so the shrub also appears to be salt tolerant.
> A link to a couple of pictures (including a Red-headed Honeyeater) is here.
