Adenanthos Dobagii
''Adenanthos dobagii'', commonly known as Fitzgerald woollybush, is a shrub in the family Proteaceae. It grows to a mere 50 cm ( ft) high, with crowded small silvery leaves and insignificant pink or cream flowers. It occurs only in southwestern Australia, where it is found in Fitzgerald River National Park on the south coast. Description ''Adenanthos dobagii'' grows as a small open shrub up to half a metre ( ft) high. The leaves, which are usually crowded together at the ends of branches, are from long, and deeply lobed into laciniae. They always have three primary segments, with the outer two segments usually further dividing into two, resulting in five laciniae. They appear silvery in colour, but this is due to a dense covering of hairs. Flowers occur in groups of three, borne at the ends of branches. They are pale pink or cream, and only about long, making them the smallest flowers in the genus. Overall the species is similar in appearance to '' A. flav ...

(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.

Adenanthos Eyrei
''Adenanthos eyrei'' is a species of shrub in the family Proteaceae. Restricted to a single cliff-top dune system on the remote south coast of Western Australia, it is listed as rare and endangered.

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.

Adenanthos Cuneatus
''Adenanthos cuneatus'', also known as coastal jugflower, flame bush, bridle bush and sweat bush, is a shrub of the family Proteaceae, native to the south coast of Western Australia. The French naturalist Jacques Labillardière originally described it in 1805. Within the genus ''Adenanthos'', it lies in the section ''Adenanthos'' and is most closely related to '' A. stictus''. ''A. cuneatus'' has hybridized with four other species of ''Adenanthos''. Growing to high and wide, it is erect to prostrate in habit, with wedge-shaped lobed leaves covered in fine silvery hair. The single red flowers are insignificant, and appear all year, though especially in late spring. The reddish new growth occurs over the summer. It is sensitive to ''Phytophthora cinnamomi'' dieback, hence requiring a sandy soil and good drainage to grow in cultivation, its natural habitat of sandy soils in heathland being an example. Its pollinators include bees, honey possum, silvereye and honeyeaters, p ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Adenanthos Ellipticus
''Adenanthos ellipticus'', commonly known as the oval-leaf adenanthos, is a flowering plant from the family Proteaceae that is endemism, 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 (botanist), 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 William Blackall, 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 (botany), section ''Adenanthos'' within the genus of the same name. Distribution and habitat ''Adenanthos ellipticus'' is fou ...
