Maireana cheelii

Maireana cheelii, common name - chariot wheels, is a species of flowering plant in the family Amaranthaceae, native to Victoria, New South Wales,  and Queensland (where it is extinct). It is found on seasonally wet, heavy loams and clay soils.

It was first described in 1934 by Robert Henry Anderson as Kochia cheelii, but in 1975 Paul Wilson reassigned it to the genus, Maireana.

It is a "vulnerable" species under the EPBC Act. Threats to its current populations include: weed invasion, grazing by stock, roadworks, and recreational vehicle use.
