Description

Correa lawrenceana var. grampiana is a shrub that typically grows to a height of 2.5 m (8 ft 2 in). Its leaves are arranged in opposite pairs, leathery, elliptical, mostly 20–40 mm (0.79–1.57 in) long, 10–17 mm (0.39–0.67 in) wide and covered with velvety, fawn-coloured hairs on the lower side. The flowers are arranged singly in leaf axils on a down-turned pedicel 2–5 mm (0.079–0.197 in) long. The calyx is cup-shaped, 5–7 mm (0.20–0.28 in) long, covered with woolly, rust-coloured hairs and with a wavy rim. The corolla is cylindrical, 15–25 mm (0.59–0.98 in) long and velvety, covered with a thick layer of cream-coloured to yellowish brown hairs. [3] [4] [5] [6]

Taxonomy

The variety was first formally described by Paul Wilson in the journal Nuytsia in 1998, from specimens collected by David Albrecht on Mount William in 1986. [5] [7] [8]

Distribution and habitat

This correa grows among rocks in mountains in the Grampians and on nearby Mount Langi Ghiran. [4] [9]

Conservation status

The Grampians Correa is listed as "Rare in Victoria" on the Department of Sustainability and Environment's Advisory List of Rare Or Threatened Plants In Victoria. [3] [2]
