Jedda
Jedda is a 1955 film by the Australian filmmaker Charles Chauvel. His last film, it is most notable for being the first to star two Aboriginal actors (Robert Tudawali and Ngarla Kunoth) in the leading roles, and also to be the first Australian feature film shot in colour. Jedda is seen by some as an influential film in early Australian cinema, as it set a standard for future Australian films. It won more international attention than previous Australian films, during a time when Hollywood films were dominating the Australian cinema. The director, Charles Chauvel, was nominated for the Golden Palm Award in the 1955 Cannes Film Festival, but lost to the American Delbert Mann for Marty.
Plot
Jedda is an Aboriginal girl born on a cattle station in the Northern Territory of Australia. After her mother dies giving birth to her, the child is brought to Sarah McMann, the wife of the station boss. Sarah has recently lost her own newborn to illness. She at first intends to give the baby to one of the Aboriginal women who work on the station, but then raises Jedda as her own, teaching her European ways and separating her from other Aborigines.
Jedda multicaulis
Jedda is a monotypic plant genus in the Thymelaeaceae family, its only species being J. multicaulis. The species is an upright, evergreen bush indigenous to tropical Australia, discovered in the early 1980s on the Cape York Peninsula in northern Queensland, in an area of grassy forest land. The full extent of its distribution is unknown. The name Jedda is a toponym from Jedda Creek, which is close to where the type specimen was collected from.
Description
Jedda multicaulis is a multi-stemmed, upright, evergreen bush (1.5–2.5 m tall). Stems, which are smooth, reddish-brown, and cylindrical when young, and woody as they age, arise from a central corm. Glabrous, coriaceous, point-tipped, oval-shaped leaves (2.5–7 mm long × 8–25 mm wide), are arranged oppositely, or nearly oppositely, along the stems. Inflorescences (2–4 mm long) are clusters of usually three, occasionally up to five flowers, set in bracts. Flower base is tubular (7–9 mm long), extending into sepals and white corolla lobes (3.8–5 mm long). Flowers come out in October.Fruits (6–8 cm long × 4–6 cm wide) which are sometimes viviparous and exhibit cryptogeal (i.e. plant burrows under the soil) germination, are green leathery berries or achenes.
