Conospermum stoechadis subsp. sclerophyllum |
Conospermum stoechadis subsp. sclerophyllum is a shrub endemic to Western Australia.
As with other forms of C. stoechadis , it grows as an erect, multi-stemmed shrub, with a lignotuber. It has slender needle-like leaves from two to 17 centimetres long and 0.6 to 2.25 millimetres wide, and panicles of white flowers. [1] [2] This subspecies grows to a height of from 0.3 to 1.5 metres, rarely to 2.5 metres, and has tomentose, grey leaves. [3] [4]
It was first published at species rank as Conospermum sclerophyllum, in John Lindley's 1839 A Sketch of the Vegetation of the Swan River Colony , based on unspecified material. [5] In 1995, Eleanor Bennett demoted it to a subspecies of C. stoechadis in her treatment of Conospermum for the Flora of Australia series of monographs. [6] [7]
It occurs on sandplains of white, grey or yellow sand, or amongst laterite. It extends from Jurien Bay, east to Kulin, and south as far as Wickepin. [3] [4]
It is not considered threatened. [4]

There are two subspecies, B. nobilis subsp. nobilis and B. nobilis subsp. fragrans.
