Description

Bursaria occidentalis is a tree that typically grows to a height of Шаблон:Cvt, sometimes a shrub to Шаблон:Cvt, and usually only has spiny branches when young. The adult leaves are egg-shaped with the narrower end towards the base, hairy on the lower surface, Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide on a petiole Шаблон:Cvt long. The plants have both andromonoecious and bisexual flowers borne in groups on the ends of branchlets, each flower on a pedicel Шаблон:Cvt long. The sepals are hairy, less than Шаблон:Cvt long and spread from their bases and the petals are creamy-white, Шаблон:Cvt long and also spread from their bases. Flowering occurs from August to December and the fruit is an inflated capsule Шаблон:Cvt long and wide containing winged, brown seeds.[1][2]

Taxonomy

Bursaria occidentalis was first formally described in 1978 by Eleanor Marion Bennett in the journal Nuytsia from specimens she collected near Shark Bay in 1975.[3][4]

Distribution and habitat

This bursaria grows in mallee woodland between Shark Bay, Dongara and Menzies in the Avon Wheatbelt, Coolgardie, Geraldton Sandplains, Murchison and Yalgoo biogeographic regions of Western Australia. In some places it may be the only tree species.[1][2]
