Not sure, this might be another Gomphrena, maybe not. Aborigines call it the same as others, Kanbukbuk. They say it's "emu tucker", and concentrations of Kanbukbuk are good emu hunting areas. Not so common but widespread in woodlands. This one was growing in the same place as the second last one - in gravelly/stoney ground on the side of a rocky hill with a lot of seepage water.
