Xanthorrhoea media
Xanthorrhoea media, known as a grass tree, or Gulgadya in the Cadigal language, is a mid-sized plant in the genus Xanthorrhoea. The specific epithet media (meaning "middle") is from the Latin, and refers to the fact that this species is in the middle of the taxonomic range for this group.
This perennial shrub is found in heathland or eucalyptus forest on sandstone. It occurs most often in dry sites such as exposed ridges and the sides of hills. The distribution is from near Sydney to the Blue Mountains.
