Streptoglossa odora

The leaves of the larger branches are oblong-lance shaped, occasionally linear-shaped, 15–55 mm (0.59–2.17 in) long, 4–15 mm (0.16–0.59 in) wide, decurrent at the base, margins smooth or toothed and pointed at the apex.

The pink or blue-purple "flowers" are scattered on variable length branches, and florets in a group of mostly 15-30.

Flowering occurs from July to August and the fruit is dry, one-seeded, 2–3 mm (0.079–0.118 in) long and covered in silky, flattened hairs.

[4] In 1981 Clyde Robert Dunlop changed the name to Streptoglossa odora and the description was published in Journal of the Adelaide Botanic Garden.

[7] This streptoglossa grows in open areas of woodland and scrubland on sandy clay as well as saline depressions in northern Australia from the Kimberley to the Northern Territory into western and central Queensland.
