Amyema Periclymenoides

Red staining heath, scientifically known as Amyema periclymenoides, is a rare and striking plant native to the rugged landscapes of southeastern Australia. Its vibrant red flowers, which appear in late winter to early spring, make it a standout among the heath family. The plant's unique ability to stain surfaces with a reddish pigment has earned it its common name and made it a subject of both fascination and caution. Growing in nutrient-poor soils, it thrives in the harsh conditions of heathlands and rocky outcrops. Despite its beauty, it remains a threatened species due to habitat loss and environmental changes.
