Maireana glomerifolia
Maireana glomerifolia, commonly known as ball-leaf bluebush, is a species of flowering plant in the family Amaranthaceae and is endemic to Western Australia. It is a rigid, openly branched shrub with brittle, woolly branches covered with compact clusters of sessile, fleshy, woolly leaves, flowers in short spikes on the ends of branches, and a thin-walled, pink to red fruiting perianth with a simple, wavy wing.
Ball-leaf bluebush grows in stony soils or clay in saline or sub-saline areas and on rocky hillsides and claypans in the Avon Wheatbelt, Coolgardie, Gascoyne, Great Victoria Desert, Mallee, Murchison and Yalgoo bioregions of Western Australia.
