Description

Correa lawrenceana var. cordifolia is a shrub that typically grows to a height of 1–5 m (3 ft 3 in – 16 ft 5 in) and has leathery, broadly egg-shaped to heart-shaped leaves 25–105 mm (0.98–4.13 in) long, 20–55 mm (0.79–2.17 in) wide and thinly felty on the lower surface. The flowers are borne singly in leaf axils on a peduncle 1–5 mm (0.039–0.197 in) long or in groups of two or three, each flower on a pedicel about 10 mm (0.39 in) long. The calyx is cup-shaped, 4–5 mm (0.16–0.20 in) long and hairy, and the corolla is cylindrical, 25–30 mm (0.98–1.18 in) long and pink with a yellowish tip, rarely all yellow. Flowering mostly occurs in spring. [3] [4] [5]

Taxonomy

The variety cordifolia was first formally described in 1961 by Paul Wilson in Transactions of the Royal Society of South Australia from specimens collected by Ernest Francis Constable on Mount Dromedary in 1953. [6] [7] [8]

Distribution and habitat

This variety of C. lawrenceana grows in forest, including rainforest, on the coast and nearby tablelands of New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory and south from Lake Conjola and Braidwood, to the far north-eastern corner of Victoria. [3] [4] [9]

Conservation status

This variety is listed as "vulnerable" on the Department of Sustainability and Environment's Advisory List of Rare Or Threatened Plants In Victoria. [2]
