Homoranthus homoranthoides is a plant in the myrtle family Myrtaceae and is endemic to South Australia.

Description

Homoranthus homoranthoides is a distinctive species recognised by its low growing prostrate habit. A shrub with greyish green linear leaves, small pendulous cream coloured flowers which turn red as they age.[1][2]

Taxonomy and naming

This species was first formally described in 1853 by Ferdinand von Mueller who gave it the name Schuermannia homoranthoides and published the description in the journal Linnaea.[3][4] In 1991, Lyndley Craven and S.R.Jones changed the name to Homoranthus homoranthoides.[5] The specific epithet (homoranthoides) refers to the similarity of this species (when named as Schuermannia homoranthoides) to those in the genus Homoranthus. The ending -oides is a Latin suffix meaning "like", "resembling" or "having the form of".[6]

Distribution and habitat

Homoranthus homoranthoides grows in heath and woodland on the southern part of the Eyre Peninsula. Grows on a variety of substrates in mallee heath and woodland.[7]

Conservation status

Moderately restricted distribution although well reserved and often locally common.[7]
