Podotheca angustifolia, commonly known as sticky longheads, is a species of herb native to Australia.
An annual herb with yellow flowers, P. angustifolia grows in a range of habits, from trailing along the ground to erect; when erect if can reach up to 30 centimetres in height, but is usually no more than 20 centimetres. It has a swollen, almost succulent stem, and a slender woody taproot. It is sticky due to secretions from its glandular hairs. [2] [3]
This species was first published by Jacques Labillardière in his 1806 Novae Hollandiae plantarum specimen , under the name Podosperma angustifolia. In 1826, Alexandre Henri Gabriel de Cassini transferred it into Phaenopoda , but this was overturned six years later by Christian Friedrich Lessing, who placed it in Podotheca . [4] [5]
It occurs in southern parts of Australia. [3] It has been recorded from Tasmania but is now presumed extinct there. [6]
