You often see this plant growing through mossy banks of tracks, I liked how prolific the fruiting was on this one. You can't eat the berries as far as I know.

Brambles growing prostrate to the ground at a former school site. Nature reclaiming the old tarmac playground. Heavily frosted with the cold as sharp as the thorns on the bramble.
Notice on prostrate headstones warning "not to attempt to re-erect these memorials without the use (sic) of an approved memorial mason" all for "your own safety". Obviously an orgy of 'anti-vandalism' has been sweeping this Clevedon Church.

Here at Round Hill Headland near Town of 1770 this species occurs side by side in both red and white (or cream) coloured forms with there being more on the site of the cream form than the red form.
Interestingly, this is the site where Captain Cook and Joseph Banks, presumably who the species was named after, came ashore on the 24th May 1770.
The following is from Tony Rodd - re the naming of Grevillea banksia.
G. banksii was named by Robert Brown in 1810, in the Transactions of the Linnean Society of London. Brown stated its origin as "In Novae Hollandiae ora orientale: Keppel Bay, Pine Port, &c". The actual specimen in the British Museum, chosen as lectotype by McGillivray and Makinson from among Brown's collections in the British Museum, is cited by them as "Port I [between Facing and Curtis Islands, near Gladstone]".
Here is a few other pics I have of a taller growing red form of Grevillea banksii I have growing here at home.
Here is a shot by tanetahi, with an interesting explanation, showing both red and cream plants of the taller variety growing together on the Herberton Range in North Queensland.
A remnant Prostrate kowhai, a few old plants still cling onto the rocky cliff. A large one was dislodged a few years back by road construction.
Round-Leaved Tick Trefoil, Round-Leaved Trailing Tick-Trefoil, Prostrate Ticktrefoil - Desmodium rotundifolium
Introduced warm-season perennial prostrate ephemeral or perennial herb. Stems are softly hairy, to 60 cm long and root at the nodes. Leaves are stalked, obovate to circular, 0.5–5 cm long, mostly hairless. Flowerheads are oval, to 15 mm long and 10 mm wide. Bracts are lanceolate and pungent pointed. A native o South America, it is a widespread weed of bare ground and disturbed areas.
Compared to aquatic AW terrestrial plants are more compact, less upright and the stems are not as inflated (hollow).
Very limited range: known only from coastal edges of Santa Cruz, San Luis Obispo, and Santa Barbara Counties.
The population shown was photographed at Arroyo de los Chinos, San Luis Obispo County, California, USA.

Introduced, warm-season, annual or perennial, prostrate to ascending herb. Stems are pubescent to woolly or hairless and to 25 cm tall. Leaves are opposite, oblong to more or less spathulate and 2–5 cm long; upper surface is sparsely hairy to hairless, lower surface is pubescent to woolly. Flowerheads are 1–4 cm long, 1–1.2 cm wide. Perianth segments are white, shining and papery. A native of America, it is a widespread weed.
Native, warm-season, prostrate, ascending or erect, much-branched, hairless herb. Grows in heath and swampy areas, extending into open sclerophyll forest on damp sandy soils
The native annual prostrate forb, Tiquilia nuttallii, is most abundant in sandy swales. Stem branching is dichotomous, the leaf venation is furrowed on the upper surface, and the leaf hairs are coarse, as is characteristic of many borage species. This site lies in the Wyoming big sagebrush steppe of the Idaho National Laboratory, east of Lincoln Blvd and south of Shell Road, Butte County, Idaho.

Also known as Chamaesyce prostrata. Plants pubescent. Capsules pilose on the angles, otherwise glabrous. Leaf margins serrulate, at least at apex.
Commersonia prostrata is a prostrate, mat-forming shrub with trailing branches to 2m long and is a pioneer species which appears after fire, flooding or clearing. It occurs disjunctly in south-east Australia, from the Gippsland Lakes hinterland in Victoria to the Tomago sandbeds north-east of Newcastle in NSW and is known from only 31 sites - 24 in Victoria and seven in NSW. In Victoria, Commersonia prostrata is found in the Rosedale-Stradbroke-Providence Ponds area of central Gippsland. In NSW, the majority of known sites occur near Tallong, Penrose and Goulburn on the Southern Tablelands; and also near Newcastle. Main threats are swamp drainage, reduced fire-frequency, weed invasion, browsing by native and introduced mammals and sand mining. Photo: Greg Steenbeeke
