''Pimelea linifolia'' is an Australian shrub, variously known as queen-of-the-bush and the slender or flax-leafed riceflower. It is widespread throughout the south and east of the continent and is toxic to livestock. 〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url = http://www.anbg.gov.au/common.names/ )〕 The bark can be processed into fine strong thread for catching ''Agrotis infusa'', the Bogong moth. This string, called a 'Bushman's bootlace', is produced by a traditional method that involves wetting, drying, beating and rolling the material. ==Description == The plant is prostrate or 1.5 m high. The leaves of the species are narrow or oblanceolate, 2–7 mm, and may be up to 30mm long. Up to 60 white flowers form brachteate heads on glabrous peduncles, bracts are 4 or 8. It was first published in 1793 by James Edward Smith, in his ''A Specimen of the Botany of New Holland''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pimelea linifolia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
