Kingia

Kingia is a striking Australian native renowned for its robust, solitary trunk topped with a dense tuft of long, narrow leaves. Distinctively, it features spherical flower heads that sprout on elongated stalks, giving a unique appearance reminiscent of a scepter. This adaptation aids its survival in the dry, open landscapes it typically inhabits, allowing it to efficiently capture moisture and nutrients.
