Branch with fruit

Bursaria longisepala is a species of flowering plant in the family Pittosporaceae and is endemic to New South Wales. It is a spiny, sprawling shrub with narrowly elliptic leaves clustered around spiny side-shoots, flowers with relatively large sepals, five spreading white petals and five stamens, and concave fruit.

Description

Bursaria longisepala is a spiny, sprawling shrub that typically grows to a height of less than Шаблон:Cvt, some stands retaining juvenile characteristics. Young plants have clustered, thin, more or less sessile elliptic leaves Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide with toothed edges. Adult plants have sessile, dark green, narrowly elliptic leaves Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide clustered around spiny side-shoots. The flowers are arranged singly, in pairs or in small groups at the ends of branchlets, each flower on a pedicel Шаблон:Cvt long. The sepals are larger in this species than in others of the genus, green or cream-coloured, Шаблон:Cvt long, free from each other and spreading from the base. The five petals are white and spread from the base, Шаблон:Cvt long. Flowering mainly occurs in summer and the fruit is a concave capsule Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide.[1][2]

Taxonomy

Bursaria longisepala was first formally described in 1926 by Karel Domin in the journal Bibliotheca Botanica from specimens he collected in the Blue Mountains in 1910.[3]

Distribution and habitat

This bursaria mostly grows on south-facing cliffs and in disturbed areas in forest and woodland and is mainly found in the Blue Mountains and sometimes on the central coast of New South Wales.[1][2]
