NSW Australia - Christmas Bush












All states in Australia have their own Christmas Bushes. Our Christmas Bush in New South Wales is Ceratopetalum gummiferum. Terminal sprays of white flowers occur in late spring becoming larger and brilliant red by Christmas.

The bush has a distinctive folklore among New South Welshmen.
