This plant is reasonably uncommon across Victora but on our stretch of coastline there are a number of populations that are typically associated with coastal dunes overlying limestone (calcarenite).
Pairs of succulent 'Y' shaped leaves make this plant distinctive and easy to identify.
Flowering is at its peak in late winter-spring when masses of single, bright yellow 4-petalled flowers appear. These are followed in summer by fleshy, triangular seed pods that gradually dry out with the summer sun.
Whilst this plant is drought tolerant it can be short-lived, relying instead on its ability to produce large quantities of seed to maintain future generations.
