Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Speciesbox
Eremaea asterocarpa is a plant in the myrtle family, Myrtaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It is a shrub with broad, flat leaves, and orange-coloured flowers in late winter or spring. Single flowers appear on the ends of branches formed the previous year.
Description
Eremaea asterocarpa is a shrub, growing to a height of Шаблон:Convert. It has a variable form, sometimes low and spreading, others erect or short and twisted. The leaves are Шаблон:Convert long, Шаблон:Convert wide, elliptic or egg-shaped with the narrower end towards the base and have between 5 and 7 veins visible on the lower surface.[1]
The flowers are orange-coloured, on the ends of the previous year's wood and occur singly or rarely, two together. There are 5 sepals which are densely hairy on the outside surface and 5 petals Шаблон:Convert long. The stamens, which give the flower its colour, are arranged in 5 bundles, each containing 16 to 36 stamens. Flowering occurs from July to November and is followed by fruits which are woody capsules. The capsules are Шаблон:Convert long, more or less cup-shaped, rough and lumpy with the remains of the sepals giving a star-like appearance to the end.[1] It can be distinguished from other eremaeas by the rough fruits and the presence of 5 or more veins on the leaves.
Taxonomy and naming
Eremaea asterocarpa was first formally described in 1993 by Roger Hnatiuk in Nuytsia.[1][2] The specific epithet (asterocarpa) is from the Ancient Greek ἀστήρ (astḗr) meaning "a star"[3]Шаблон:Rp and καρπός (karpós) meaning "fruit",[3]Шаблон:Rp referring to the star-like pattern on the end of the fruit.[1]
The names of three subspecies of Eremaea asterocarpa are accepted by the Australian Plant Census:
- Eremaea asterocarpa Hnatiuk subsp. asterocarpa[4] has leaves with 3 (rarely 5) veins;[5]
- Eremaea asterocarpa subsp. brachyclada Hnatiuk[6] is a small, low shrub with short, twisted branches and leaves with 5 to 7 or more veins;[7]
- Eremaea asterocarpa subsp. histoclada Hnatiuk[8] is an erect plant with straight or slightly arched branches and leaves with 5 to 7 or more veins.[9]
Distribution and habitat
Eremaea asterocarpa is found in near-coastal areas of the south-west in the Geraldton Sandplains, Jarrah Forest and Swan Coastal Plain biogeographic regions.[10] It grows in sand over laterite.[11]

Eremaea asterocarpa is classified as "not threatened" by the Western Australian Government Department of Parks and Wildlife.[10]
