Synaphea polymorpha
Synaphea polymorpha, commonly known as Albany synaphea, is a species of flowering plant in the family Proteaceae and is endemic to the south west of Western Australia. The Noongar peoples know the plant as bindak. It is a slender or rounded shrub with sharply pointed, three-part leaves, more or less crowded spikes of yellow flowers, and beaked, elliptic, hairy fruit.
Albany synaphea grows on hillsides, low-lying areas and swamps in sandy loam and lateritic soil in woodland and kwongan, mainly within 30 km (19 mi) of Albany, in the Esperance Plain, Jarrah Forest, Swan Coastal Plain and Warren bioregions of south-western Western Australia.
