Darwinia fascicularis
Darwinia fascicularis is a species of flowering plant in the myrtle family, and is endemic to areas near Sydney. It is a small shrub with aromatic foliage and white flowers that turn red as they mature. Nectar feeding birds are attracted to the flowers.
Darwinia fascicularis is a hardy species, for an open sunny situation in well-drained soil. Several native birds are attracted to this species of Darwinia as a source of nectar they include the New Holland honeyeater (Phylidonyris novaehollandiae), tawny-crowned honeyeater (Gliciphila melanops) and eastern spinebill (Acanthorhynchus tenuirostris). This genus is believed to be predominantly pollinated by birds.
Darwinia fascicularis grows from as far north as Gosford in the Central Coast to Bulli near Wollongong. The habitat is poor sandy soils, in dry eucalyptus forest or heathlands in high rainfall areas.
