Trachymene incisa

Trachymene incisa, known as Skip in English, is a perennial plant native to the coastal regions of New Guinea and northeastern Australia, specifically New South Wales and Queensland. This plant thrives in light soil types—ranging from sandy to heavy clay—and requires moist conditions. It prefers full or partial sun exposure and can grow up to 0.5 meters tall. Skip is notable for its edible roots, making it a valuable resource in local cuisine. Its adaptability to various soil types and moisture levels contributes to its widespread presence in its native range.
