Description
Cryptandra gemmata is a shrub that typically grows to a height of Шаблон:Cvt, its young branchlets covered with star-shaped hairs. Its leaves are linear and needle-shaped in clusters of 3 to 9, each leaf Шаблон:Cvt long, Шаблон:Cvt wide and sessile, with narrowly triangular stipules Шаблон:Cvt long at the base. The upper surface of the leaves is glabrous and the lower surface is rarely visible. The flowers are borne in clusters of 3 to 5 on the ends of branchlets with elliptic brown bracts Шаблон:Cvt long at the base. The sepals are white to creamy-white, forming a cylindrical to urn-shaped tube Шаблон:Cvt long with lobes Шаблон:Cvt long. The petals protrude Шаблон:Cvt beyond the sepal tube, and form a hood over the stamens. Flowering has been observed in April, and the fruit is an oval schizocarp Шаблон:Cvt long.[1]
Taxonomy and naming
Cryptandra gemmata was first formally described in 2004 by Anthony Bean in the journal Austrobaileya from specimens collected east of Jabiru in 1989.[1][2] The specific epithet (gemmata) means "provided with buds", referring to the development of buds around existing flowers and fruits.[1]
Distribution and habitat
This cryptandra grows on sandstone pavement with little or no soil and is only known from near Jabiru in the far north of the Northern Territory.[1]
