Monotoca Elliptica
''Monotoca elliptica'', the tree broom heath, is a plant in the family Ericaceae, found in south-eastern Australia. Description Monotoca elliptica is a long-lived species which may grow for more than a hundred years. The plant is often seen as a shrub of around three metres, however, exceptional specimens may reach ten metres tall. The habitat is scrub country, often near the coast on headlands and on sand dunes. A widespread plant, it is also found away from the coast and on the ranges in areas of mid to high rainfall. Leaves are usually 10 to 25 mm long, 3 to 7 mm wide. Paler below with longitudinal leaf veins. A sharp prickle is on the leaf end. The leaf shape may be elliptic, oblong or reverse lanceolate. The leaf stem is 1 to 2 mm long and rough to touch. White flowers with red swollen anthers form in late winter and early spring on racemes. Red or orange round shaped fruit form in spring and summer, 3 to 4 mm in diameter. Indigenous Australians used ...

Monotoca Oreophila
''Monotoca oreophila'', the mountain broom heath, is a plant in the family Ericaceae. It is endemic to Victoria, Australia. Plants grow to between 0.2 and 2.5 metres high. The elliptic or lanceolate leaves are 3.8 to 11 mm long and 1.4 to 2.8 mm wide. They are stiff, convex and pointed at the apex. The upper surface of the leaves is dark green while the underside is white with distinct veins. White flowers appear between November and January in the species' native range. These are followed by fruits that ripen to orange-red between January and April. The species was formally described in 1995 based on plant material collected from the summit of Mount Wellington. Plants of this species growing on Mount Useful were collected by Victorian Government botanist Ferdinand von Mueller and originally identified as ''Monotoca scoparia ''Monotoca scoparia'', commonly known as prickly broom heath, is a widespread native species across south-eastern Australia.

Robert Brown (botanist, Born 1773)
Robert Brown (21 December 1773 – 10 June 1858) was a Scottish botanist and paleobotanist who made important contributions to botany largely through his pioneering use of the microscope. His contributions include one of the earliest detailed descriptions of the cell nucleus and cytoplasmic streaming; the observation of Brownian motion; early work on plant pollination and fertilisation, including being the first to recognise the fundamental difference between gymnosperms and angiosperms; and some of the earliest studies in palynology. He also made numerous contributions to plant taxonomy, notably erecting a number of plant families that are still accepted today; and numerous Australian plant genera and species, the fruit of his exploration of that continent with Matthew Flinders. Early life Robert Brown was born in Montrose on 21 December 1773, in a house that existed on the site where Montrose Library currently stands. He was the son of James Brown, a minister in the ...
