Two similar grevilleas. The name man-djenkererr (an-djen.gererr in Gundjeihmi) refers to both species of Grevillea on the lowlands. On the plateau in the rock country both species are called an-bardbard. There is a traditional song about this plant. There is also a modern rock version of the same song composed by the Nabarlek Band from Manmoyi. You can hear an extract of this song in the audio for the Kunwinjku dialect.
