Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Speciesbox
Calamphoreus inflatus is the only species of the flowering plant genus Calamphoreus in the family Scrophulariaceae. It is a shrub, formerly known as Eremophila inflata but unlike eremophilas, this species has twisted stamens and an urn-shaped petal tube which remains attached to the fruits after flowering.
Description
Calamphoreus inflatus is a shrub sometimes growing to a height of Шаблон:Convert and spreading to Шаблон:Convert wide with branches that are slightly sticky when young. The leaves are arranged alternately, mostly Шаблон:Convert long, Шаблон:Convert wide, thick, sticky and elliptic or narrow lance-shaped.[1][2]
The flowers are arranged singly or in groups of up to 5 in the axils of leaves on a stalk Шаблон:Convert long. There are 5 oblong sepals which are hairy, and after flowering develop a network of distinct veins. There are also 5 petals joined at their bases, forming an expanded bell-shaped tube. The petal tube is purple except inside the tube where it is white, spotted with purple. The tube is Шаблон:Convert long with lobes that are rounded and of unequal lengths. There are 4 short stamens with twisted or curved filaments. Flowering occurs mainly in summer and is followed by densely hairy, oval-shaped fruits about Шаблон:Convert long with the dried petal tube remaining on the outside.[1][2]
Taxonomy and naming
Calamphoreus inflatus was first formally described in 1942 by Charles Gardner in Journal of the Royal Society of Western Australia as Eremophila inflata from a specimen collected in the Coolgardie district near Mount Holland and Lake Cronin.[3] The genus name (Calamphoreus) is from the Ancient Greek words kalos meaning "beautiful"[4]Шаблон:Rp and amphoreus meaning "two-handled vase", "pitcher", "jar", "jug" or "cinerary urn"[4]Шаблон:Rp referring to the shape of the flowers.[1] The specific epithet (inflatus) is a Latin word meaning "puffed up" or "swollen".[4]Шаблон:Rp
Distribution and habitat
Calamphoreus inflatus occurs from Lake King to Mount Holland and in nearby areas[1] in the Coolgardie and Mallee biogeographic regions.[5] It has also been recorded east of Hyden.[6] It grows in gravelly loam on flats and disturbed sites.[7]
Conservation
Calamphoreus inflatus is classified as "Priority Four" by the Government of Western Australia Department of Parks and Wildlife[5] meaning that it is rare or near threatened.[8]
Use in horticulture
Commonly cultivated as Eremophila inflata, this species grows well in most soils provided it is well drained and in a sunny position. It is most easily propagated from cuttings.[2]
