Description

Daviesia epiphyllum is a rigid, erect and spreading, glabrous shrub that typically grows to a height of Шаблон:Cvt. Its branches are reduced to flattened, staghorn-shaped phylloclades Шаблон:Cvt wide, the leaves reduced to oblong phyllodes Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide with cuspidate, sharply-pointed tips. The flowers are arranged in groups of three to seven on a peduncle Шаблон:Cvt long, the rachis Шаблон:Cvt long, each flower on a pedicel Шаблон:Cvt long with many overlapping bracts about Шаблон:Cvt long at the base. The sepals are Шаблон:Cvt long and joined at the base, the two upper lobes joined for most of their length and the lower three triangular. The flowers are yellowish-red, the standard broadly elliptic with a deep notch, Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide, the wings about Шаблон:Cvt long, and the keel about Шаблон:Cvt long. Flowering occurs from January to May and the fruit is a leathery, triangular pod Шаблон:Cvt long.[1][2]

Taxonomy and naming

Daviesia epiphyllum was first formally described in 1855 by Carl Meissner in Botanische Zeitung from specimens collected by James Drummond.[3] The specific epithet (epiphyllum) means "upon a leaf", referring to the flowers growing from the phylloclades.[1]

Distribution and habitat

Staghorn bush grows on sandplains in heathland between Bullsbrook, Eneabba and Moora in the Avon Wheatbelt, Geraldton Sandplains and Swan Coastal Plain biogeographic regions of south-western Western Australia.[2][1]

Conservation status

Daviesia epiphyllum is classified as "not threatened" by the Western Australian Government Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions.[2]
