Xanthorrhoea fulva a species of grasstree of the genus Xanthorrhoea native to New South Wales and Queensland. It was previously regarded as a subspecies of Xanthorrhoea resinosa,[1] but reclassified as a species in its own right in 1986.[2]
Unlike some other grasstrees, it lacks a trunk, and instead grows from one or more underground stems. The leaves are blue-green or blue-grey and depressed in cross section. It flowers from August to October.[3]
Xanthorrhoea fulva grows in wet sandy areas from Wyong on the New South Wales Central Coast north into Queensland.[3]
