Balga (Xanthorrhoaea preissii)

The blackened trunk of this grass-tree (family Xanthorrhoeaceae) reflects the fire history of the site.
This is fire-prone vegetation that recovers well from occasional severe wildfire.


other sizes: small medium large original auto

How interesting that the tree was able to withstand a fire that totally blackened its trunk.
