Originally from Yuendumu in the Central Desert, Sylvia Briscoe Napurrurla's work evokes a dream associated with the clan of Nampijinpa/Nangala women and Jampijinpa/Jangala men.

This Dream tells the story of a Jangala ancestor who harvests seeds of this plant from the hills of Mount Liebig, Yamunturrngu. Once the seeds have been collected, the people place them in parrajas, which are wooden picking baskets, to return to his village.

Some seeds are then sown in shelters protected from the wind, while others are used to make a remedy to cure stomach aches.
