Four hundred and three specimens of a single vibrant plant are included among the flora at Melbourne University’s Herbarium. It's most commonly known today as the Emu Bush or eremophila — a native Australian medicinal plant with the ability to cure numerous diseases, but not everyone knows it by this name. The issues raised by this single plant represent the stark cultural divide between Australia’s indigenous communities and the British settlers, illuminating patterns of marginalisation that persist to this day. In this episode of Uncurated, Mustafa Nuristani, Xinyue Huang and Xiaowei Chang examine the many names of a plant that speaks volumes about Australia’s past and present.
