Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Speciesbox
Boronia scabra, commonly known as rough boronia,[1] is a plant in the citrus family, Rutaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It is an open shrub with simple, often clustered, oblong to elliptic leaves, and pink, mostly four-petalled flowers.
Description
Boronia scabra is a shrub that grows to a height of about Шаблон:Convert and has branchlets with soft hairs. Its leaves are narrow oblong to elliptic with the edges curved downwards, Шаблон:Convert long and often clustered. The flowers are arranged in small groups on the ends of the branches, each flower on a pedicel Шаблон:Convert long. The flowers have four or sometimes five triangular to egg-shaped sepals Шаблон:Convert long. There is a similar number of pink, egg-shaped petals Шаблон:Convert long. The stamens are swollen at the tip with a small white tip on the anther. The stigma is minute. Flowering occurs from July to December.[2][1]
Taxonomy and naming
Boronia scabra was first formally described in 1839 by John Lindley and the description was published in A Sketch of the Vegetation of the Swan River Colony.[3][4] The specific epithet (scabra) is a Latin word meaning "rough", "scurfy" or "scabby".[5]
In 1998, Paul Wilson described three subspecies that are accepted by the Australian Plant Census:
- Boronia scabra subsp. attenuata Paul G.Wilson[6] has flowers that sometimes have five sepals and petals;[7]
- Boronia scabra subsp. condensata Paul G.Wilson[8] has rough stamen filaments;[7]
- Boronia scabra Lindl. scabra[9] has smooth stamen filaments.[7]
Distribution and habitat
Subspecies attenuata grows among granite rocks at Cape Le Grande and on the nearby Recherche Archipelago,[7][10] subspecies condensata grows near Badgingarra, often in gravel,[7][11] and subspecies scabra grows in a variety of habitats including jarrah forest and kwongan between Geraldton, Gingin, Woodanilling, the Stirling Range and Cape Arid National Park.[7][12][13]
Conservation
Subspecies scabra is classified as "not threatened" by the Western Australian Government Department of Parks and Wildlife[12] but subspecies attenuata is classified as "Priority Three",[10] meaning that it is poorly known and known from only a few locations but is not under imminent threat,[14] and subspecies condensata is classified as "Priority Two"[11] meaning that it is poorly known and from only one or a few locations.[14]
