The news:
Welcome to my new Blog about some of the members of the Myrtaceae family!

The why:
A little while back I did a journal post about tricky little myrtles in Denmark Shire. That was to help demystify the lesser known species of Myrtaceae that I might come across so I was more likely to photograph and identify them.

I was rewarded almost immediately when I came across a plant with tiny flowers that looked like a tricky little myrtle. It turned out to be Austrobaeckea pygmaea and it was the first iNat observation of the species!

Encouraged by this I decided to write more about the Myrtaceae family. iNat journal entries are not a good way to build a structured collection of posts so I decided to use Blogger instead.
