Archidendron muellerianum, the veiny lace flower or small-flower laceflower, is a rainforest tree with a restricted range in eastern Australia. It is a rare plant, with a ROTAP rating of 3RCa.
The tree was first described as Albizia muelleriana in 1896 by Joseph Maiden and Richard Thomas Baker,[1] before being moved to its current binomial name by Nielsen.[2] The specific epithet muelleriana honours the name of one of Australia's outstanding colonial botanists, Ferdinand von Mueller.[3]
Archidendron muellerianum grows as a tree up to Шаблон:Convert tall. The trunk has grey bark and can reach diameter of Шаблон:Convert, and is occasionally buttressed. The leaves are arranged alternately on the grey to red-brown branches and are bipinnate – made up of two leaf stalks each with several oval-shaped glossy leaflets, which measure Шаблон:Convert long, and Шаблон:Convert wide. The leaflets have prominent veins on both upper and undersurfaces. Appearing in November and December, the tiny white flowers are arranged in globular white flowerheads to Шаблон:Convert in diameter. Flowering is followed by Шаблон:Convert long wrinkled red-brown seed pods which ripen in April to December. Orange on the inside, they bear shiny black seeds.[3]
It grows north from Alstonville, New South Wales up to some of the remnant natural areas in the Gold Coast in south-eastern Queensland, in coastal or subtropical rainforest.[3] The former habitat of seaside and subtropical rainforest was mostly destroyed for agriculture and housing.
