Yajukurlu (Cynanchum Floribundum) grows in Sandy Soil near creeks and can be eaten raw when ripe, or cooked in ashes. The country of this dreaming is Yirdikapuurta or Yijiwanji (same place) near Mt Allen, East of Yuendumu/ It belongs to the Japaljarri/Jungarrayi moiety The painting depicts the plant spreading from its ngarna (centre) along the path of the dreaming. In the Jukurrpa, the wind blew the flowers and seeds from Yirdikupuurda to many places, the most significant being Jilip-Jilip and Yakurlpa (a big water hole near Mt Allen) and to Wilpiri (near Mission Creek). Near Mt Doreen the same Dreaming belongs to Japananka and Japangardi skin groups.
