Kondrung (Astroloma serratifolium)15 seeds
 
 
Astroloma spp. produce small fleshy berries that are readily consumed by many animals especially birds, but some like Astroloma serratifolium are also eaten by people. This species produces a slightly tart green berry that is/was eaten raw by aborigines and used in jams, pies, etc., by early settlers.
 

The red/pink tubular flowers are around 1.5 cm (over 1/2”) in length and are probably pollinated by honeyeating birds. Like many heaths they can be long flowering and being largely an inland species will take advantage of any good passing storms, where in their favoured stony ground the rain can penetrate deeper and the moisture held longer. Due to this opportunistic flowering habit, plus occurring in several climate zones, Astroloma serratifolium is known to flower at any time of the year.
