Triumfetta winneckeana is a species of flowering plant in the family Malvaceae, native to central Australia, including Queensland, the Northern Territory, and Western Australia.[1]
The plant grows as a prostrate shrub in the arid zone of central Australia. The leaves are velvety, and the flowers are bright yellow with many stamens. The seeds are round, with hooked spikes protruding in all directions.[2] It is zoochorous, dispersing its barbed seeds via attachment to animals.[3]
