Lasiopetalum joyceae | |
Lasiopetalum joyceae is a species of flowering plant in the family Malvaceae and is endemic to New South Wales. It is an erect shrub with linear leaves and small groups of pinkish to reddish-brown flowers.
Lasiopetalum joyceae is an erect shrub that typically grows to a height of up to 2 m (6 ft 7 in) and has wand-like branches. The leaves are linear, 30–90 mm (1.2–3.5 in) long and less than 10 mm (0.39 in) wide with the edges rolled under, and whitish to rust-coloured hairs on the lower surface. The flowers are arranged in clusters of three of four with bracteoles 5–8 mm (0.20–0.31 in) long and about 1 mm (0.039 in) wide near the base of the sepals. The sepals are pinkish to reddish-brown with woolly hairs on the back, and there are no petals. Flowering occurs in spring. [2] [3] [4] [5]
Lasiopetalum joyceae was first formally described in 1929 by William Blakely in the Proceedings of the Linnean Society of New South Wales . [4] [6] The specific epithet (joyceae) honours "my late adopted daughter, Joyce, who was the first to bring this beautiful species under my notice". [4]
This lasiopetalum grows in heath on ridgetops on the Hornsby Plateau south of the Hawkesbury River, in the Sydney region of New South Wales. [2] [5] [7]
