Kochia sedifolia F.Muell.

Maireana sedifolia, also known as the bluebush or pearl bluebrush is a compact shrub endemic to Australia, and found in New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia, Western Australia, and the Northern Territory.[4] It is used in pasture and as a garden plant where it is popular due to its distinctive grey foliage.[citation needed]

It was first described in 1855 by Ferdinand von Mueller as Kochia sedifolia,[5][6] but was reassigned to the genus, Maireana, by Paul Wilson in 1975.[1][2]
