Capparis anomala
Capparis anomala is a species of flowering plant, commonly called warrior bush or broom bush, which is native to Australia.
The warrior bush was described by a government botanist by the name of Ferdinand von Mueller around 1855. One of Muller's many achievements was the establishment of the National Herbarium of Victoria. Several years after its establishment in 1853, Mueller describe species as Apophyllum anomalum and introduced it into the National Herbarium of Victoria where 19.8% of the species recordings are found today. Between the National Herbarium of New South Wales and the Herbarium of Queensland there is currently, according to The Australian Plant Census, a total of 53% of the country's warrior bush recordings to be found. The species was renamed Capparis anomala in 2018.
