Some of the West Australian Keraudrenias are endangered species.
Keraudrenia corrolata, commonly called Velvet Flower, is native to
eastern Australia from north of Sydney to the brigalow belt of Central
Queensland. The variety K. corrolata var. denticulata is regarded
as an endangered species in the Hawkesbury region and other parts of northern
NSW. Keraudrenia lanceolata is commonly called Queensland Velvet Flower
and is native to central Queensland.
While Keraudrenia's beauty is subtle, its drought tolerance means that it is
the kind of plant that may have garden potential in the future with careful
selection and research. Let's hope that all the genetic diversity will still be
available when that time comes.
