Stenopetalum (Brassicaceae) 1:45   

Stenopetalum lineare (Thread-cress) is a rare native herb found in sandy heaths near the east coast. It is a slender plant, with leaves that are either unlobed and very narrow (several cm long and only a few mm wide) or with widely spreading elongated narrow lobes. The flowers are unmistakeable, with their very narrow dark red-brown petals.
