Suckering in natives

I know of a few species of native that will sucker extensively but wondering what other species people have observed also exhibiting this trait... To clarify, I do not mean shoots coming from the base of a trunk but those that might come on roots in the outer zone when disturbed.

Some Acacias such as Mulga, Gidgee and Brigalow are notorious for suckering from disturbed roots.
