Portcullis Park. Small park with native bushland component. This tree is naturally occurring in park. Was jarrah Banksia bushland. Dieback has reduced the tree cover and an increase in ground cover has resulted and harbours a very small population of Quenda that were overflow from the corner of Vahland and South street population now extinct.

This plant may or may not have been planted in regeneration effort.

The phyllodes seen here as curved, are not always curved but they are continuous with the stem, there is not dividing sinus between stem and phyllode. The number of flowers per head equals the number of buds in the head - useful when you are checking descriptions.
