These plants have purple flowers and small green fruits. The fruit can be eaten raw or cooked. The site where these fruits are harvested is called Jukurrpa, near Mount Theo to the north of Yuendumu. The artist performs rituals to maintain the fertility of the site concerned. To this end, the artist and the women of his clan group apply body paint, sing and dance during sacred ceremonies known as ‘awelye’, which support the growth of the plants. During these ceremonies, the ground is also painted using the stippling technique characteristic of the pictorial art of the central desert, in order to communicate a spiritual force to the earth.
