Conostephium papillosum is a species of flowering plant in the family Ericaceae and is endemic to the south of Western Australia. It is a compact shrub with erect, narrowly elliptic or narrowly egg-shaped leaves with the narrower end toward the base, and pendulous, spindle-shaped, cream to straw-coloured and dark purple flowers.

Description

Conostephium papillosum is a compact shrub that typically grows up about Шаблон:Cvt high and wide, and has many stems at the base. The leaves are erect, narrowly elliptic or narrowly egg-shaped with the narrower end toward the base, Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide on a petiole Шаблон:Cvt long. Both sides of the leaves are sparsely hairy or glabrous. The flowers are more or less pendulous with overlapping bracts at the base. There are 7 to 9 broadly egg-shaped floral bracts, the upper bracts Шаблон:Cvt long, and egg-shaped to more or less round bracteoles Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide. The sepals are egg-shaped or narrowly egg-shaped, Шаблон:Cvt long, the petal tube usually spindle-shaped and Шаблон:Cvt long and dark purple, the lobes white or cream-coloured. Flowering mainly occurs from May to October and the fruit is broadly oval and about Шаблон:Cvt long.[1][2]

Taxonomy and naming

Conostephium papillosum was first formally described in 2013 by Michael Hislop in the journal Nuytsia from specimens he collected north of Condingup in 2006.[1][3] The specific epithet (papillosum) means "papillate", referring to the texture of part of the petal tube.[1]

Distribution and habitat

This species usually grows in mallee woodland, sometimes around saline depressions and is found from north-east of Esperance to Israelite Bay in the Esperance Plains and Mallee bioregions of southern Western Australia.[1][2]

Conservation status

This conostephium is listed as "not threatened" by the Western Australian Government Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions.[2]
