Cryptandra wilsonii is a flowering plant in the family Rhamnaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It is a shrub with hairy young stems, oblong to narrowly oblong leaves and clusters of white, tube-shaped flowers arranged in small clusters.

Description

Cryptandra wilsonii is a shrub that typically grows to a height of Шаблон:Cvt, its young stems covered with both star-shaped and straight hairs, the branchlets sometimes spiny. The leaves are oblong to narrowly oblong, Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide, on a petiole Шаблон:Cvt long with stipules Шаблон:Cvt long at the base. The upper surface of the leaves is glabrous, the lower surface is usually concealed and the tip of the leaf curves downwards. The flowers are white and arranged in spike-like or head-like clusters of 2 to 6, with about 6 or 7 broadly egg-shaped floral bracts Шаблон:Cvt long at the base. The floral tube is Шаблон:Cvt long joined at the base for about Шаблон:Cvt. The sepals are Шаблон:Cvt long, the style Шаблон:Cvt long. Flowering occurs from May to August, and the fruit is a schizocarp about Шаблон:Cvt long and densely covered with star-shaped hairs.[1][2]

Taxonomy and naming

Cryptandra wilsonii was first formally described in 1995 by Barbara Lynette Rye in the journal Nuytsia from specimens collected near Cape Riche Beach in 1974.[1][3] The specific epithet (wilsonii ) honours the Australian botanist, Paul G. Wilson.[1]

Distribution and habitat

This cryptandra usually grows in sandy soil, sometimes in mallee scrub, and occurs from north-east of Wialki to Cape Riche and near Gibson in the Avon Wheatbelt, Coolgardie, Esperance Plains, Jarrah Forest and Mallee bioregions of Western Australia.[1][2]

Conservation status

Cryptandra wilsonii is listed as "not threatened" by the Government of Western Australia Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions.[2]
