About Xanthorrhoea brunonis Endl.
Xanthorrhoea brunonis Endl. is a perennial grass tree. This species typically reaches 1.5 metres (5 ft) in total height. It usually does not produce a trunk; it has a scape that grows between 0.35 and 1.5 metres (1.1 to 4.9 ft) long, and a flower spike measuring 0.1 to 0.3 metres (0 to 1 ft) long. It blooms between October and December, and produces white-cream coloured flowers. It has a tufted growth form, with individual leaves reaching up to 80 centimetres (31 in) long. The non-flowering portion of its stem is always longer than the flowering portion. It can be distinguished from the related species Xanthorrhoea preissii by its flower spike. This species is distributed on the Swan Coastal Plain, along the west coast of Western Australia's Wheatbelt, Peel and South West regions, and along the south coast of Western Australia's Great Southern region. Its range extends from Dandaragan in the north to Augusta in the south, where it grows in sandy-clay soils overlying laterite.
