Although some bush tomatoes contain solanine and are poisonous, others have been a traditional food source for Aboriginal peoples. <\/p>\n\n<h5 class=\"sans-serif article-subhead\"><strong>WHERE IS IT? <\/strong><\/h5>\n\n<p class=\"article-full-body sans-serif\">The species was found in the Australian outback, alongside a trail leading up to Garrarnawun Lookout in Judbarra National Park, a meeting place of the Wardaman and Nungali-Ngaliwurru peoples. <\/p>\n\n<h5 class=\"sans-serif article-subhead\"><strong>WHAT IS THE MEANING BEHIND THE SCIENTIFIC NAME?<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n<p class=\"article-full-body sans-serif\">The Latin word \u2018<em>scalarium\u2019 <\/em>translates to \u2018stairs\u2019 or \u2018ladder\u2019, so the specific epithet refers to the human-made stone steps leading up to Garrarnawun Lookout. It also highlights the importance of making natural places accessible. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"sans-serif article-byline\"><strong>Megan <\/strong><strong>Shersby <\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p
