Stirlingia Teretifolia
''Stirlingia'', commonly known as blueboy, is a genus of 7 species in the family Proteaceae, all of which are endemic to Western Australia. Description ''Stirlingia'' grows as a shrub or herb arising from a perennial tap root or woody root stock; the herbaceous nature of some species is unique to ''Stirlingia'' among the Proteaceae. They grow to heights ranging from 10 centimetres to 1.5 metres. Leaves are soft and leathery, and bifurcated along their length. They occur mostly on lower parts of the stems. Flowers occur in inflorescences that are either heads or very short spikes. Taxonomy The genus was first published by Robert Brown (botanist, born 1773), Robert Brown in 1810, under the name ''Simsia''. Brown initially published two species, ''Simsia anethifolia'' and ''Simsia tenuifolia'', adding a third, ''Simsia latifolia'' in 1830. It was later discovered that Brown's generic name was illegal, as the name ''Simsia'' had already been published in 1807 by Christian Hendrik Pe ...

Stirlingia Latifolia
''Stirlingia latifolia'', commonly known as blueboy, is a plant endemic to Western Australia. Description It grows as an erect shrub from 20 centimetres to 1.5 metres high, consisting of numerous stems up to 70 centimetres long, emerging from an underground lignotuber. Leaves are leathery, up to 10 centimetres long, and bifurcate into lobes up to three times. They extend well up the stems. Flowers occur in a panicle atop a scape up to 1.5 metres high. Taxonomy ''Stirlingia latifolia'' was first published by Robert Brown in 1830 under the name ''Simsia latifolia''. It was later discovered that the generic name '' Simsia'', published by Brown in 1810, was illegitimate, as it had already been published in 1807 for a genus of ''Asteraceae''. A new generic name, ''Stirlingia'', was published in 1838, but the transfer of the species published under ''Simsia'' was overlooked at first. ''Simsia latifolia'' would not be transferred into ''Stirlingia'' until 1841, when Ernst Steudel pu ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
