About Xanthorrhoea fulva (A.T.Lee) D.J.Bedford

Xanthorrhoea fulva is a grasstree species belonging to the genus Xanthorrhoea, native to the Australian states of New South Wales and Queensland. It was originally classified as a subspecies of Xanthorrhoea resinosa, and was reclassified as a full standalone species in 1986. Unlike many other grasstree species, Xanthorrhoea fulva does not produce an above-ground trunk. Instead, it grows from one or more underground stems. Its leaves are blue-green or blue-grey in color, and are depressed in cross-section. This species flowers between the months of August and October. Xanthorrhoea fulva grows in wet sandy habitats, with a natural range extending from Wyong on the Central Coast of New South Wales northwards to the area around Rockhampton, Queensland.
