Strangea is a genus of three species of shrubs in the family Proteaceae native to Australia. [1]

The type species Strangea linearis was collected by Frederick Strange, at Moreton Bay, Queensland, and described by Carl Meissner in 1855, the author giving an honour to Strange in the naming of the new genus. [2] [1]

Callistemon is a genus of shrubs in the family Myrtaceae, first described as a genus in 1814. The entire genus is endemic to Australia but widely cultivated in many other regions and naturalised in scattered locations. Their status as a separate taxon is in doubt, some authorities accepting that the difference between callistemons and melaleucas is not sufficient for them to be grouped in a separate genus.

<i>Astelia</i> Genus of plants

Astelia is a genus of flowering plants in the recently named family Asteliaceae.

It reaches 3 m (9.8 ft), or occasionally 5 m (16 ft), in height and has thick, dark grey papery bark. The leaves are, as the species name suggests, more or less linear in shape, and are up to 9 cm (3.5 in) long, and 0.1 to 0.7 cm wide. The small yellow flowers appear in summer, autumn and early winter, followed by small green fleshy fruit known as drupes. Within the genus Persoonia, it is a member of the Lanceolata group of 58 closely related species. P. linearis interbreeds with several other species where they grow together.
