Isopogon robustus, commonly known as robust coneflower,[1] is a plant in the family Proteaceae and is endemic to a restricted area in the southwest of Western Australia. It is a shrub with cylindrical leaves and oval heads of pink flowers.

Description

Isopogon robustus is a shrub that typically grows to about Шаблон:Cvt high and Шаблон:Cvt wide with brownish branchlets. The leaves are cylindrical, up to Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide and more or less sessile. The flowers are arranged in oval, sessile heads of about nineteen to twenty-five pink flowers, the heads about Шаблон:Cvt in diameter with egg-shaped involucral bracts at the base. Flowering occurs in October and the fruit is a hairy nut about Шаблон:Cvt long, fused in a spherical head Шаблон:Cvt in diameter.[2]

Taxonomy and naming

Isopogon robustus was first formally described in 2005 by Neil Gibson in the journal Muelleria from a manuscript prepared by Donald Bruce Foreman but not published before his death.[3] The specific epithet (robustus) is a reference to the thick leaves and large flowers of this isopogon.[2]

Distribution and habitat

This isopogon grows on laterite but is only known from a population of about 120 plants in the Parker Range near Southern Cross in the south-west of Western Australia.[2]

Conservation status

Isopogon robustus is listed as "critically endangered" under the Australian Government Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 and as "Threatened Flora (Declared Rare Flora — Extant)" by the Department of Environment and Conservation (Western Australia).[1][4]
