Habit in Kings Park, Perth

Chorilaena quercifolia, commonly known as karri oak or chorilaena,[1] is a species of bushy shrub that is endemic to the karri forests of south-west Western Australia. It is the sole species in the genus Chorilaena. It has papery, broadly egg-shaped leaves with lobed edges and variously-coloured flowers arranged in umbels of five, the sepals and petals hairy on the outside and the stamens protruding beyond the petals.

Description

Chorilaena quercifolia is a bushy shrub that typically grows to a Шаблон:Cvt high and Шаблон:Cvt wide. The leaves are papery, broadly egg-shaped, Шаблон:Cvt long on a thin petiole about Шаблон:Cvt long. The flowers are usually green, sometimes yellow, white red or pink and are arranged in umbels of five on a downturned peduncle about Шаблон:Cvt long. The central flower is sessile, the surrounding four flowers on horizontally spreading pedicels about Шаблон:Cvt long. At the base of the sepals there are thread-like to spatula-shaped bracts and bracteoles that are about the same length as the flowers. The sepals are joined at the base with narrow triangular lobes about Шаблон:Cvt long and covered on the outside with woolly and star-shaped hairs. The petals are oblong to elliptical, Шаблон:Cvt long with star-shaped hairs on the outside and the stamens are two to three times as long as the petals. Flowering mainly occurs between October and February.[1][2][3]

Taxonomy

Chorilaena quercifolia was first formally described in 1837 by Austrian botanist Stephan Endlicher. The description was published in his book, Enumeratio plantarum quas in Novae Hollandiae ora austro-occidentali ad fluvium Cygnorum et in sinu Regis Georgii collegit Carolus Liber Baro de Hügel, based on plant material collected from King George Sound by Charles von Hügel.[4][5] The leaves are shaped like those of an oak (genus Quercus), hence the specific epithet quercifolia.[1]

Distribution and habitat

Karri oak grows on rocky coasts and on hillsides within Шаблон:Cvt of the coast between Cape Naturaliste and Bald Island in Western Australia.[2][3]

Conservation status

This species is listed as "not threatened" by the Government of Western Australia Department of Parks and Wildlife.[3]
