Description

Conostephium marchantiorum is an erect shrub that typically grows to a height of about Шаблон:Cvt and has many branches, its leaves clustered near the ends of twigs. The leaves are linear, leathery, Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide on a petiole Шаблон:Cvt long. The edges of the leaves are rolled under and the lower surface has several prominent longitudinal veins. The flowers are arranged singly in 2 to 4 leaf axils on each twig with small, egg-shaped bracts and several broader, overlapping bracteoles closely surrounding the flowers. The sepals are lance-shaped, Шаблон:Cvt long, the petals white and joined at the base to form a tube about Шаблон:Cvt long. The petal lobes are twice as long as the petal tube and densely bearded. Flowering has been observed in March, July and November.[1][2]

Taxonomy and naming

Conostephium marchantiorum was first formally described in 1986 by Arne Strid in the journal Willdenowia from specimens he collected near Scaddan in 1983.[1][3] The specific epithet (marchantiorum) honours Neville Graeme Marchant and his wife Denise.[1][4]

Distribution and habitat

This leucopogon grows on sand on plains, creeklines and the edges of salt lakes in the Esperance Plains and Mallee bioregions of south-western Western Australia.[2]
