Darwinia terricola, commonly known as the Blackwood bell,[1] is a species of flowering plant in the myrtle family Myrtaceae and is endemic to a small area in the south-west of Western Australia. It is a small, low, sometimes prostrate shrub with small, linear leaves and small groups of flowers surrounded by reddish-green bracts and which usually lie on the ground.
Description
Darwinia terricola is a spreading or prostrate shrub which grows to Шаблон:Convert tall and Шаблон:Convert wide and which has many stems spreading from a woody base. Its leaves are linear in shape, Шаблон:Convert long and less than Шаблон:Convert wide, triangular in cross-section and with scattered cilia along the edges. The flowers are arranged in groups, usually of between five and seven, the groups Шаблон:Convert long and Шаблон:Convert wide. The flowers are surrounded by several rows of leaf-like bracts which are green at first, but which turn reddish-green and increase in size to Шаблон:Convert long and Шаблон:Convert wide as the flowers develop. The groups of flowers lie on the ground or on top of leaves, each flower brown, tube-shaped and Шаблон:Convert long with five ridges on the sides. The petals are white with a curved style Шаблон:Convert long extending beyond the petal tube. There is a ring of short hairs near the end of the style. Flowering occurs in November and December.[1]
Taxonomy and naming
Darwinia terricola was first formally described in 2012 by Greg Keighery from a specimen collected in the Blackwood State Forest between Margaret River and Nannup. The description was published in the Western Australian Naturalist.[2] The specific epithet (terricola) is derived from the Latin word terra meaning "earth", "ground" or "soil"[3]Шаблон:Rp and the suffix -cola meaning "inhabitant",[3]Шаблон:Rp referring to the prostrate habit of this species and the manner in which the flowers lie on the ground.[1]
Distribution and habitat
Blackwood bell is only known from the Blackwood State Forest in the Jarrah Forest and Warrenbioregions, where it grows in sandy clay in mallee shrubland.[1][4]
Conservation status
Darwinia terricola is classified as "Threatened Flora (Declared Rare Flora — Extant)" by the Western Australian Government Department of Parks and Wildlife.[4]
