Seems interesting but im sceptical about the potency I don't know but i wouldn't be surprised if it works for at least a short time, especially if you make a bit of a rock pool or in still water, they are strong alkaloids and as far as i know it has goodly amounts in it, D. Myoporoides x D. Leichhardtii has up to 7% I think a good sized bunch crushed a bit and added to the water as fish poison or to stun animals seems fairly plausible Edited October 14, 2018 by bardo add Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is fairly common where I am at. There is a Utube vid of it being harvested for a pharmaceutical company in Australia. Edited October 14, 2018 by The Breeze New at this.

The Breeze Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 Scaevola Spinescens. Five petal flower reaching out to give you a hand. Common names Maroon bush, Cancer plant , currant bush. I've had a tea from this plant many times and never had any reaction to it. Although illegal to sell in WA because it's poison aparrently but ok to sell cigarettes 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bardo Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Blue flax lily, eaten many of these and are slightly sweet and tasty tho I have eaten from one clump that had a slight burning sensation so I am guessing the edibility is variable from plant to plant ?

McCarthy and of course the internet is very handy : ) Hi Bardo, are you still looking for Native edible books?, yeah I have a few Tim Low ones as well plus a few others. I also have a copied to PDF version of Tim Low's out of print Wild Herbs of Australia and New Zealand and can send you that if you're interested. I copied it from a library years agoand then copied it to my computer to PDF. I had to make it in 2 sections because it was 2 big to email as one. Another one by AB & JW Cribb called WIld Food in Australia os ok as well but dosent have much in the way of ikkustrations though. It is still good for general info, here's a link to one for sale: https://gbeonline.com.au/product/useful-wild-plants-in-australia-by-a-b-j-w-cribb/ 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
