Blue Fan Flower – Dampiera sylvestris

Dampiera is a genus of 60-70 species, all of which occur only in Australia.
The name comes from an English explorer, hydrographer, and naturalist, called William Dampier, (1651—1715).
We found this flowering in the spring in the Blue Mountains. Usually it is found in the northern parts of New South Wales and in the wooded coastal areas of south-east Queensland
The fan-like flowers can be either brilliant blue or a lighter powder blue. It is a small herb or shrub and tends to grow on sandy soil where it spreads by suckering. It is found on sand dunes and in the under story of the open eucalypt forest.
