Adenanthos Cacomorphus
''Adenanthos cacomorphus'' is a small shrub in the family Proteaceae. It is found in southwest Western Australia. Description ''Adenanthos cacomorphus'' grows as a small lignotuberous shrub up to one metre (3 ft) high. The soft and hairy leaves are more or less triangular in shape with 3 to 5 (occasionally up to 7) apical lobes. The single pink flowers consist of a bright pink perianth about 2.5 cm (1 in) long, and a style up to 3.5 cm (1.6 in) long. They are seen over the warmer months from November to March. It resembles its close relative '' A. cuneatus'', but has more deeply lobed leaves and a different flower colour. Taxonomy Botanical specimens of this species had been collected as far back as 1969, but the species was not published until 1978, when Irish botanist Ernest Charles Nelson issued a thorough revision of ''Adenanthos''. He published this species based on a type specimen collected by Kenneth Newbey in Fitzgerald River National Park ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Ernest Charles Nelson
(Ernest) Charles Nelson (15 September 1951, Belfast, Northern Ireland) is a botanist who specialises in the heather family, Ericaceae, especially ''Erica'', and whose past research interests included the Proteaceae especially '' Adenanthos''. He is the author or editor of over 24 books and more than 150 research papers (usually signed E. Charles Nelson). He was honorary editor of ''Archives of Natural History'' (the journal of the Society for the History of Natural History) between 1999 and 2012 and remains closely linked with the journal as one of the Associate Editors, and was honorary editor of ''Heathers'' (yearbook of the recently (2020) disbanded Heather Society) for 23 years until 2017. Nelson was educated at Portora Royal School (Enniskillen), and obtained a Bachelor of Science degree in botany at the Aberystwyth University. He then moved to Australia where he obtained a PhD from the Australian National University (Canberra) in 1975, for his studies into the taxonomy ...

Adenanthos
''Adenanthos'' is a genus of Australian native shrubs in the flowering plant family Proteaceae. Variable in habit and leaf shape, it is the only genus in the family where solitary flowers are the norm. It was discovered in 1791, and formally published by Jacques Labillardière in 1805. The type species is ''Adenanthos cuneatus'', and 33 species are recognised. The genus is placed in subfamily Proteoideae, and is held to be most closely related to several South African genera. Endemic to Australia, its centre of diversity is southwest Western Australia, where 31 species occur. The other two species occur in South Australia and western Victoria (Australia). They are mainly pollinated by birds. Description Habit The growth habits of ''Adenanthos'' species range from prostrate shrubs to small trees, with most species occurring as erect shrubs. There are two basic growth forms. Plants that lack a lignotuber have a single stem. Such plants usually grow into fairly erect shrubs; and so ...

Adenanthos Ileticos
''Adenanthos ileticos'' is a species of shrub in the family Proteaceae. It has roughly triangular, lobed leaves, and pale pink-red and cream, inconspicuous flowers. A rare species, it is known only from a single location in the south-west of Western Australia. It was discovered in 1968, and immediately brought into cultivation, but it would not be formally published and named until a decade later. Description ''Adenanthos ileticos'' grows as an erect, spreading lignotuberous shrub, usually up to 2 m (7 ft) high, but occasionally to 3 m (10 ft). It has roughly triangular leaves, up to 10 mm long and around 5 mm wide, with three lobes across the top. The flowers, which appear between August and November, are pale pink-red and cream, with a style which is about 32 mm long. It is somewhat similar in appearance to '' A. cuneatus'' and '' A. forrestii'', but the former has much larger leaves, and the other much deeper lobes, than ''A. i ...

Adenanthos Ellipticus
''Adenanthos ellipticus'', commonly known as the oval-leaf adenanthos, is a flowering plant from the family Proteaceae that is endemic to Western Australia where it is considered to be Declared Rare Flora. Description ''Adenanthos ellipticus'' grows as an open spreading shrub to 3 m (10 ft) high and 4 m (13 ft) wide. The leaves are long by wide, while the orange or reddish-pink coloured flowers are long. Taxonomy Alex George described ''Adenanthos ellipticus'' in 1974, the species name derived from the Latin adjective ''ellipticus'' and referring to the shape of the leaves. It had been collected much earlier, in 1931 by W.E.Blackall. He published the name ''A. cuneata'' var. ''integra'' in 1954 but did not write a description so the name is invalid. It is classified in the section ''Adenanthos'' within the genus of the same name. Distribution and habitat ''Adenanthos ellipticus'' is found only in Fitzgerald River National Park, where it occurs in three ...

Adenanthos Glabrescens
''Adenanthos glabrescens'' is a species of small shrub endemic to the Ravensthorpe area in southwest Western Australia. First published in 1978, there are two subspecies. Description ''Adenanthos glabrescens'' grows as an erect shrub up to 70 cm in height. It has pinkish red or cream flowers, with a perianth tube about 22 mm long, and a style about 35 mm long. Leaves are usually entire and oval-shaped, but may rarely by lobed. They grow to 25 mm in length, and about 6 mm wide. The species is quite similar to '' A. dobsonii'', but the leaves of ''A. dobsonii'' retain an indumentum of soft hairs both long and short, whereas those of ''A. glabrescens'' have an indumentum of short hairs only, which is soon lost. Taxonomy There are botanical collections attributable to this species dating back at least to 1924, but it was not until 1978 that Ernest Charles Nelson published the species in his comprehensive taxonomic revision of the genus.
