About Bauera sessiliflora F.Muell.
Bauera sessiliflora F.Muell. is a scrambling shrub that typically reaches a height of around 2 meters (6 feet 7 inches), and has wiry branches. Its leaves are trifoliate, with leaflets ranging from narrowly elliptic to egg-shaped with the narrower end at the base. Most leaflets are 4–15 mm (0.16–0.59 in) long and 2–5 mm (0.079–0.197 in) wide. The flowers are produced in leaf axils, are sessile, and measure about 10–15 mm (0.39–0.59 in) wide. This species has six or eight narrowly triangular sepals that are 2–3 mm (0.079–0.118 in) long, a matching number of rosy-pink or magenta petals 6–8 mm (0.24–0.31 in) long, and roughly twice as many dark purple stamens as petals. Flowering occurs mainly from September to December. Also called Grampians bauera, this plant is endemic to the Grampians, where it grows in damp sites near streams and rocky gullies. It is not common in gardens, but can be cultivated in moist, well-drained soil.
