Bamboo SS Shirt Purrpalanji Jukurrpa

• Purrpalanji (Skinny Bush Banana) Jukurrpa

  ‘Purrpalanji’ (skinny bush banana [Rhyncharrhena linearis])
  is a twining climber with thin leaves and pink-brown
  flowers. Its bean-like edible pods are long and skinny, and
  can grow up to 20 cm long. It is fire tolerant and grows
  quickly whenever moisture is available. Like ‘yuparli’ (bush
  banana [Marsdenia australis]), all of the plant is eaten aside
  from the woody stems.
  This ‘purrpalanji Jukurrpa’ (skinny bush banana Dreaming)
  comes from Pikilyi (Vaughan Springs), a large waterhole and
  natural spring to the west of Yuendumu, close to Mount
  Doreen. Napangardi/Napanangka women and
  Japangardi/Japanangka men are the ‘kirda’ (owners) of the
  skinny bush banana Dreaming at Pikilyi. Nangala women
  and Jangala men are the ‘kurdungurlu’ (custodians) of this
  Dreaming.
  Napangardi and Napanangka women collect ‘purrpalanji’
  (skinny bush banana) and ‘yuparli’ (bush banana) around
  Pikilyi in their ‘parraja’ (coolamons).
