The anthers are Шаблон:Cvt long. Flowering occurs in September and October.[1][2]

Taxonomy and naming

Conostylis festucacea was first formally described in 1846 by Stephan Endlicher in Lehmann's Plantae Preissianae.[3][4] The specific epithet (festucacea) means "resembling Festuca".[5]

In 1987, Stephen Hopper described two subspecies of C. festucea in Flora of Australia and the names are accepted by the Australian Plant Census:

Distribution and habitat

This species of conostylis grows in sand in winter-wet depressions in heath and low woodland in disjunct populations near Perth, Dandaragan and Watheroo in the Avon Wheatbelt, Geraldton Sandplains, Jarrah Forest and Swan Coastal Plain bioregions of south-western Western Australia.[1][2] Subspecies festucacea occurs near Perth and Dandaragan[7][8] and subsp. filifolia is confined to sandplain between Watheroo and Moora.[10][11]

Conservation status

Both subspecies of Conostylis festucacea are listed as "not threatened" by the Western Australian Government Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions.[8][11]
