| Spinifex sericeus - Hairy Spinifex
|
| One of the most important pioneer plants on the dunes, Hairy Spinifex can grow in bare sand and has the ability to hold and bind the sand together with its extensive root system. The leaves are covered in a thick layer of fine hairs which slow down air movement, assisting the plant in reducing water loss from the leaves. |
