Thanks for reaching out about Spike. Unfortunately, not a botonist nor native to Australia. Believe that you should be able to obtain that information on the web. In captivity, a wide variety of greens, red/yellow/orange vegetables should be offered. Young/growing bearded dragons need more dark greens for calcium. As adults, not growing bone, so less dark greens can be offered. Excess calcium could possibly lead to formation of bladder stones. Good luck.
