Much of the rest of the property consists of flat alluvial plains with mallee woodlands, chenopod shrublands, semi-arid grasslands and ephemeral lignum wetlands.
Their researched indicated that the virus was sap-transmissible to 14 species of Chenopodiaceae, Leguminosae, Solanaceae and Malvaceae.

, published in 1845, now considered a synonym of Sarcobatus (Greasewood), a plant genus in the family Sarcobataceae (formerly in Chenopodiaceae)
Amino Acids such as proline accumulate in halophytic Brassica species, quaternary ammonium bases such as Glycine Betaine and sugars have been shown to act in this role within halophytic members of Chenopodiaceae and members of Asteraceae show the build up of cyclites and soluble sugars.
The larvae feed on Asteraceae, Chenopodiaceae, Euphorbiaceae and Solanaceae species, but also on a number of agricultural crops.
