Neobassia proceriflora

MSB. Also NT, SA, Qld, NSW. Apparently restricted in Victoria to chenopod shrublands and Eucalyptus largiflorens woodlands, often slightly saline, on the Murray River floodplain in the far north-west (i.e. Walpolla and Lindsay Islands). A rather cryptic species, with the collecting notes on Victorian specimens indicating that the species is seemingly abundant only following summer rains. Cunningham et al. (1981) note that in western New South Wales the species is rarely abundant in strong natural pastures but more frequent in areas in which the pasture has been weakened by drought or overgrazing, often abundant around sheep yards, well used stock-routes, and watering points.
