Conospermum glumaceum, commonly known as hooded smokebush, [1] is a shrub endemic to Western Australia.
Conospermum glumaceum grows as an erect shrub without a lignotuber, from 0.5 to 1.7 metres high. It has linear leaves from 1.5 to 7.5 centimetres long and one to five millimetres wide, and panicles of white, cream, yellow or purple flowers. [1] [2]
It was first published in John Lindley's 1839 A Sketch of the Vegetation of the Swan River Colony , based on unspecified material. Lindley referred to it as a "strange species" that "has altogether the appearance of some Bupleurum with great membranous bracts." [3] It has since had an uncomplicated taxonomic history, its only synonym being Conospermum lupulinum Endl., which was published by Stephan Endlicher in 1848, but shown to be taxonomically synonymous with C. glumaceum by Eleanor Bennett in 1995, as part of her treatment of Conospermum for the Flora of Australia series of monographs. [4] [5]
It occurs in lateritic soils amongst hilly terrain, between Eneabba and Red Hill in Western Australia; thus it occurs mainly within the Geraldton Sandplains and Swan Coastal Plain biogeographic regions, with some populations in the Avon Wheatbelt and Jarrah Forest regions. [1] [2]
It is not considered threatened. [1]
Banksia nobilis, commonly known as the golden dryandra, great dryandra or kerosene bush, is a shrub of the family Proteaceae which is endemic to Western Australia. It occurs on lateritic rises from Eneabba to Katanning in the state's Southwest Botanic Province. With large pinnatifid leaves with triangular lobes, and a golden or reddish pink inflorescence, it is a popular garden plant. It was known as Dryandra nobilis until 2007, when all Dryandra species were transferred to Banksia by Austin Mast and Kevin Thiele. There are two subspecies, B. nobilis subsp. nobilis and B. nobilis subsp. fragrans.
Banksia proteoides, commonly known as king dryandra, is a shrub endemic to Western Australia. It was known as Dryandra proteoides until 2007, when all Dryandra species were transferred to Banksia by Austin Mast and Kevin Thiele.
Conospermum acerosum, commonly known as needle-leaved smokebush, is a shrub endemic to Western Australia
Conospermum stoechadis, commonly known as common smokebush, is a shrub endemic to Western Australia.
Conospermum stoechadis subsp. sclerophyllum is a shrub endemic to Western Australia.
Conospermum incurvum, commonly known as plume smokebush, is a shrub endemic to Western Australia.
Stirlingia simplex is a plant endemic to Western Australia.
Stirlingia latifolia, commonly known as blueboy, is a plant endemic to Western Australia.
Verticordia nitens, commonly known as Christmas Morrison and other names, is a flowering plant in the myrtle family, Myrtaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. The Noongar peoples know the plant as kotyeningara. It is an upright shrub with glistening and perfumed flower heads that appear between October and February. The small compact and erect flowers have been noted for their beauty. Although it occurs in areas near Perth, Morrison featherflower is not classed as rare or endangered because it still occurs in large populations, although its numbers have undoubtedly been reduced as a result of urban development.
Gastrolobium spinosum, also known as prickly poison, is a shrub in the family Fabaceae. It is endemic to Southwest Australia
Eremaea is a genus of woody shrubs and small trees in the family Myrtaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. Little study of the genus as a whole had been undertaken until Roger Hnatiuk researched Eremaea and published a paper in 1993, A revision of the genus Eremaea (Myrtaceae) in Nuytsia. The first species to be described was Eremaea pauciflora in 1837 and by 1964, the number of species known had increased to 12. Hnatiuk recognised 16 species, 5 subspecies and a number of varieties.
Isopogon sphaerocephalus, commonly known as drumstick isopogon or Lesueur isopogon, is a species of plant in the family Proteaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It is a shrub with linear to narrow egg-shaped leaves and spherical heads of hairy white to creamy yellow flowers.
Calytrix aurea is a species of shrub in the family Myrtaceae, endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It was first formally described by botanist John Lindley in 1839 in A sketch of the vegetation of the Swan River Colony.
Adenanthos barbiger, the hairy jugflower or hairy glandflower, is a species of shrub in the family Proteaceae. It is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It usually grows to 1 metre high, and has bright red flowers that appear mostly between August and December. The species was first formally described in 1839 by English botanist John Lindley in A sketch of the vegetation of the Swan River colony.
Scaevola platyphylla, commonly known as broad-leaved fanflower, is a shrub in the family Goodeniaceae. It is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. Plants grow to between 0.3 and 1.3 metres high and have blue to purple flowers that appear between August and January in their native range.
Conothamnus is a genus of flowering plants in the family Myrtaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. They are woody shrubs similar to melaleucas but differ in that their leaves are usually arranged in opposite pairs and the maximum number of seeds per fruit is three.
