Dampiera
''Dampiera'' is a genus of about 70 species of flowering plants in the family Goodeniaceae, all of which are endemic to Australia. Plants in the genus ''Dampiera'' are subshrubs or herbs with sessile leaves, flowers with five small sepals and blue, violet or pink, rarely white, two-lipped flowers. Description Plants in the genus ''Dampiera'' are multistemmed perennial subshrubs or herbs with a rosette of leaves, the leaves simple, sessile and sometimes with tootehd edges. The flowers have five very small sepals and petals joined at the base with two "lips" with unequal lobes. The stamens form a tube around the style and are attached to the petal tube. The fruit is a nut often with parts of the flowers remaining attached, and contains a single seed. Taxonomy The genus ''Dampiera'' was first formally described in 1810 by Robert Brown in his ''Prodromus Florae Novae Hollandiae et Insulae Van Diemen''. The genus is named for William Dampier, an English sea captain who landed on ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Dampiera Altissima
''Dampiera altissima'', commonly known as tall dampiera, is an erect perennial herb of the family Goodeniaceae and is native to Western Australia. It is a perennial herb that generally grows to a height of up to and has flat, green-grey leaves. The leaves are mostly round and are between 8-60 mm (0.3 to 2.4 in) long. ''Dampiera altissima'' flowers during the winter and spring, unveiling small blue-purple flowers. The herb is a ground cover plant found growing on the sandplains, laterite and sandstone of the southwestern region of Western Australia, most common in the Geraldton area north of Perth. The species is sometimes grown as an ornamental plant and is listed as “not threatened”. Description ''Dampiera altissima'' typically grows between 0.1 and 0.5 m (3.9 and 19.7 in) high and is described as a ground cover plant. It features ribbed stems and decumbent leaves of generally 8 to 60 mm (0.3 to 2.4 in) in length and 3 to 18 mm (0.1 to 0.7 in) in width. The leaves are se ...

Dampiera Linearis
''Dampiera linearis'', commonly known as common dampiera or wedge-leaved dampiera, is an erect perennial herb in the family Goodeniaceae. The species, which is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia, grows to between 15 and 60 cm (6 in–2 ft) high, with its blue to purple flowers appearing between July and December. It adapts readily to cultivation, particularly containers such as hanging baskets. Taxonomy The prolific botanist Robert Brown described ''Dampiera linearis'' in his 1810 work ''Prodromus Florae Novae Hollandiae et Insulae Van Diemen''. Its species name is the Latin adjective ''linearis'' "linear". He described a ''D cuneata'' at the same time, which has been synonymised with ''D. linearis''. Plants sold commercially were mislabeled as ''D. cuneata'' for many years. Dutch botanist Willem Hendrik de Vriese described two further plants—''D. azurea'' and ''D. eriophora''—from the Swan River and Perth environs in the 1845 work ''Plantae Preissiana ...

Goodeniaceae
Goodeniaceae is a family (biology), family of flowering plants in the Order (biology), order Asterales. It contains about 404 species in twelve genera. The family is distributed mostly in Australia, except for the genus ''Scaevola (plant), Scaevola'', which is pantropical. Its species are found across most of Australia, being especially common in arid and semi-arid climates. Morphology Species in Goodeniaceae are generally Herbaceous plant, herbaceous with Phyllotaxis, spiral leaves. Flowers have a single plane of symmetry (monosymmetric; ''Brunonia'' being the sole exception), and are either fan-like (e.g., ''Scaevola (plant), Scaevola'') or bilabiate (as in ''Dampiera''). Corolla (flower), Corolla lobes often have two thin marginal wings, which also occur in other families of Asterales such as the Menyanthaceae and Argophyllaceae. The style bears a pollen-cup, also known as an indusium, at the tip, a unique character for the family. The indusium has a function in secondary polle ...
