I'd guess at either R.plebius or R.lappaceus. If you get a pic of the sepals underneath the flower it might be possible to key out. In R.plebius the sepals are reflexed (bent backwards and downwards) and in R.lappaceus they are spreading (about 90 degrees). The leaf structure looks like R.lappaceus but I think both can have that trifoliate appearance. Russell
This blog is a simple collection of photos from the area affected by the Black Saturday bushfire 2009. The aim is to document how the natural environment is recovering and the diversity of species that are re-appearing. Please leave a comment if you find errors with identification or can put a name to some of the photos I haven't been able to identify.
Photos are taken using a compact camera and often with very little time so they may not always be perfectly in focus but I have included them in the hope that someone may be able to help with an ID.
