Argophyllum lejourdanii is a plant in the Argophyllaceae family endemic to a part of north eastern Queensland, Australia. It was described and named in 1863.
This species was first described (as A. lejourdani) in 1863 by the German-born Australian botanist Ferdinand von Mueller who published it in his work Fragmenta Phytographiae Australiae . [2] [3] [4] In a 1900 review published in The Queensland Flora, Frederick Manson Bailey described a new subspecies L. l. var. cryptophleba and respelled the species epithet with an extra "i", making it lejourdanii, [5] presumably as a correction of the Latin grammar.[ citation needed ] More than a hundred years later, Anthony Bean and Paul Forster conducted a wide-scale review of the genus in which they redefined A. lejourdanii and described seven new species—including promoting A. l. var. cryptophleba to species status as Argophyllum cryptophlebum . They publishing their findings in the Journal Austrobaileya in 2018. [6]
The type specimen for this species was collected in 1863 in the Kennedy District of north Queensland by John Dallachy. [3] [6]
The genus name Argophyllum is derived from Ancient Greek Árgos meaning white or shining, and phúllon meaning leaf. It refers to the white colouration of the underside of the leaves. [6] The species epithet lejourdanii is named for Alfred Lejourdan who was one of Mueller's correspondents. [2] [6]
A. lejourdanii is endemic to north eastern Queensland, from Murray Falls near Cardwell north to Mount Elliot south of Townsville, at elevations ranging from 100 to 600 m (330 to 1,970 ft). [3] [6] It usually inhabits open forest but is also found on the edges of rainforest, near rocky outcrops, and along stream margins. [3] [6]
This species is listed by the Queensland Department of Environment and Science as least concern. [1] As of 26 August 2021 [update] , it has not been assessed by the IUCN.
