The fascinating flower that looked like a hummingbird is actually called Crotalaria cunninghamii. People called it the green birdflower instead.

Yes, the Latin name is a little challenging to pronounce. So, people made up names such as green birdflower or regal birdflower. The species is native to inland northern Australia. Growing well in a sandy place, the hummingbird looking flower can be found mostly along beaches, sand dunes, and in Mulga communities. The Aboriginal people back then used the green birdflower to treat eye infections.

Some still had confusions about the flower hummingbird, but thankfully others quickly provided their answers.
