Nardoo

A type of fern that can be found across the continent either in mud or in water.  Looks like clover with 4 small leaflets.  Throughout the year ir produces a small seed pod.

Some aboriginal people would gather the pods and grind them into a rough yellow coloured flour which they would sift before adding water to produce a “Nardoo Cakes” (dough that was baked on hot coals).
