Xanthostemon Little Penda
Posted: Sun Feb 23, 2025 8:16 amDuring my evening walked I noticed this shrub dense with yellow flowers and I stopped to watch it closely. I saw busy bees going about their business; there must be a hive nearby. It seems the shrub is a Xanthostemon and belongs to the myrtle family Myrtaceae and it is a native of Queensland. It was first described in 1857 by the German–born Australian botanist Ferdinand von Mueller.
