Macropidia fulginosa, commonly known as the Black Kangaroo Paw, is a perennial rhizotomous flowering plant species endemic to south west Western Australia,[1] specifically between Perth and Geraldton to the north.
When affected by disease it can be burned back to the ground and will regrow from the rhizome. Like many Australian natives it can withstand bushfire in the wild. It is subject to fungal diseases such as the ink-spot fungus, and the rust fungus Puccinia haemodora.
I thought its intresting that a plant can grow back after completely burned.
