Silvery Leaved Pimelea - female

Pimelea argentea

An interesting pimelea which doesn't have the normal pimelea flower heads.

 

This plant has separate male and female plants. The male plants have the flowers with anthers and pollen. The female flowers are less significant and female plans are less abundant. Some populations can consist of all male plants.

 

In the populations we have seen, the male plants seem to have longer and hairier leaves making them look very silvery.
