J is for Jarrah - the common name is derived from the original Noongar name Djarraly. It’s so close but not an exact match. Djarraly or Eucalyptus marginata is native to the southwest of Western Australia and is a symbol of resilience and strength due to its hardiness and the ability to regenerate after fire.
This 20 x 20 mini acrylic painting is part of an A-Z series showing the diversity and beauty of Australian flora. The artist grew up in Aotearoa New Zealand, and the project was an exercise in learning and appreciating Aboriginal language and plant lore, and learning more about Australian plant species.
