"Australian moth species Xylorycta strigata eat the leaves and make burrows in the wood.[11] The plant also hosts caterpillars of the cup moth species Mecytha fasciata.[11]" Is "Australian moth" a common name for a particular taxon? A quick search revealed nothing. Possibly link
cup moth?
"The species was the subject of an illustration by Sydney Parkinson, artist on HM Bark Endeavour's voyage to the Pacific from 1769 to 1771. A colour botanical engraving based on Parkinson's work is part of Banks' Florilegium.[23] First Fleet midshipman and artist George Raper depicted the species in two works; an untitled watercolour study (c. 1788) and Bird Of Point Jackson (1789).[24][25] Writer and illustrator George Collingridge incorporated the flower in several of his designs and unsuccessfully championed it as the floral emblem of Australia.[26]" Do we have any of these pictures? At least some will be PD, and may make a pleasant addition to the article?
You've got a bit of inconsistency with capitalisation in references- I'd be too picky if I demanded that be resolved for GA status, but I thought I'd mention it. Some book titles capitalised, some not; some article titles capitalised, some not.
No issue with the images (which are very nice) or stability. The sources all seem appropriate, even if I can be picky with formatting here and there. Overall, a very strong article, as ever. I'll be happy to promote once these various fixes are made.
