East Mount Barren
East Mount Barren is a quartzite peak of the Barren Range in Fitzgerald River National Park. It was sighted and named by explorer Matthew Flinders on 6 January 1802, together with two other peaks in the range, West Mount Barren and Middle Mount Barren. All were named because of their barren appearance. A walking track ascends in height to the summit which has views of the coast from the Doubtful Islands to Mason Point as well as inland. Plant species that are endemic to East Barren Mountain and its immediate environs include '' Calothamnus macrocarpus'', '' Eucalyptus burdettiana'' (Burdett gum), '' Kunzea similis'' subsp. ''similis'', ''Regelia velutina'' (Barrens regelia) and ''Verticordia pityrhops''. Other species of note include '' Acacia argutifolia'' (East Barrens wattle), ''Adenanthos ellipticus'' (oval-leaf adenanthos), ''Anthocercis fasciculata'', ''Banksia speciosa'' (showy banksia), '' Dampiera deltoidea'', ''Eucalyptus coronata'' (crowned mallee), ''Gonocarpus ...

Anthocercis Fasciculata
''Anthocercis'', commonly known as tailflower, is a genus of shrubs which are endemic to southern temperate Australia with the center of distribution in the South West Botanical Province of Western Australia.George ''et al.''. (1982) All species of ''Anthocercis'' contain tropane alkaloids, and have occasionally caused poisoning in children or suspected of poisoning stock. Anthocercis is known as the only Solanaceous plant known to produce resin compounds on glandular trichomes. Taxonomy The genus, which is placed within the family Solanaceae, was first formally described by botanist Jacques Labillardière in ''Novae Hollandiae Plantarum Specimen'', Vol. 2: 19 (1806). The type species of the genus is ''Anthocercis littorea'' Labill. ''Anthocercis'' lies in the subfamily Nicotianoideae. The genus is considered to be part of the tribe "Anthocercideae," but the monophyly of this grouping has been called into question. The species within ''Anthocercis'', however, form a monophyletic ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Stylidium Galioides
''Stylidium'' (also known as triggerplants or trigger plants) is a genus of dicotyledonous plants that belong to the family Stylidiaceae. The genus name ''Stylidium'' is derived from the Greek ''στύλος'' or ''stylos'' (column or pillar), which refers to the distinctive reproductive structure that its flowers possess. Pollination is achieved through the use of the sensitive "trigger", which comprises the male and female reproductive organs fused into a floral column that snaps forward quickly in response to touch, harmlessly covering the insect in pollen. Most of the approximately 300 species are only found in Australia, making it the fifth largest genus in that country. Triggerplants are considered to be protocarnivorous or carnivorous because the glandular trichomes that cover the scape and flower can trap, kill, and digest small insects with protease enzymes produced by the plant. Recent research has raised questions as to the status of protocarnivory within ''Stylidium.' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
