Trachymene coerulea (common name - blue-lace flower) is a herb in the family Araliaceae.[1] It is native to Western Australia.[1][2]
Trachymene coerulea was first described by Robert Graham in 1828, from a plant grown from seed sent to Edinburgh by Charles Fraser, the New South Wales colonial botanist.[3][4]
The plant is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia.[5]
Aboriginal uses
Mashed bulbs and leaves were used as a body rub to relieve aches and pains.[6] Vapours from the crushed leaves were inhaled for headaches.[6]
