Taxonomy and naming
This species was first formally described in 1848 by Carl Meissner who gave it the name Callistachys spathulata in Lehmann's Plantae Preissianae.[3][4] In 1992, Joan M. Taylor and Michael Crisp transferred the species to Chorizema as C. spathulatum in Australian Systematic Botany. The specific epithet (spathulatum) means "spoon-shaped", referring to the leaves.[5]
Distribution and habitat
Chorizema spathulatum usually grows in sandy soil in the Jarrah Forest and Swan Coastal Plain bioregions of south-western Western Australia.[1]
