Jacksonia sternbergiana, commonly known as stinkwood or green stinkwood, is a species of shrub or small tree that occurs in the south-west of Western Australia. It grows to between 1.5 and 5 metres high, has a weeping habit, and produces yellow and orange pea flowers in the summer.[1] The Noongar peoples know the plant as kabbur, koorpa or mondurn.[2]
This plant provides food for the larvae of several species of butterfly, including the turquoise jewel, fringed heath-blue, and long-tailed pea-blue.[3]
