Scaevola crassifolia

Scientific name

Scaevola crassifolia

Common name

Thick-leaved fan-flower

Plant description

A common Cottesloe foreshore plant with a low spreading habit and thick, serrated, almost circular leaves. It grows well on dunes and on limestone cliffs. Scaevola is a Roman surname given to a man who had his right hand burnt off – used for this genus as the flowers have a one-sided fan shape. Many native bees visit the flowers to collect pollen or to search for a mate.
