Guichenotia basiviridis is a flowering plant in the family Malvaceae and is endemic to the far west of Western Australia. It is an erect, spreading shrub with hairy new growth, linear leaves with the edges rolled under, and pink flowers arranged in groups of three to seven.

Description

Guichenotia basiviridis is an erect, spreading shrub that typically grows up to Шаблон:Cvt high and Шаблон:Cvt wide, its new growth covered with white, star-shaped hairs. The leaves are linear, Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide on a petiole Шаблон:Cvt long. The edges of the leaves are rolled under, and both surfaces of the leaves are densely covered with white, star-shaped hairs. The flowers are borne in groups of three to seven on a peduncle Шаблон:Cvt long, each flower on a curved pedicel Шаблон:Cvt long, with linear to narrowly elliptic bracts and bracteoles Шаблон:Cvt long at the base. There are five pink, petal-like sepals Шаблон:Cvt long, tiny, dark red petals and densely hairy staminodes. Flowering occurs from July to September and the fruit is a papery capsule about Шаблон:Cvt in diameter.[1]

Taxonomy and naming

Guichenotia basiviridis was first formally described in 2003 by Carolyn F. Wilkins in Australian Systematic Botany from specimens collected near the North West Coastal Highway, about Шаблон:Cvt north of the Murchison River, in 1995.[2] The specific epithet (basiviridis) means "a green base", referring to the sepals.[1][3]

Distribution and habitat

This species of guichenotia grows in open shrubland and open woodland between Kalbarri and Geraldton in the Avon Wheatbelt, Geraldton Sandplains and Yalgoo bioregions in the west of Western Australia.[1][4]

Conservation status

Guichenotia basiviridis is listed as "not threatened" by the Western Australian Government Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions.[4]
