Styphelia
''Styphelia'' is a genus of shrubs in the family Ericaceae, native from Mainland Southeast Asia, Indo-China through the Pacific to Australia. Most have minute or small leaves with a sharp tip, single, tube-shaped flowers arranged in leaf wikt:axil, axils and with the ends of the petals rolled back with hairs in the inside of the tube. Description Plants in the genus ''Styphelia'' are usually erect or spreading shrubs that have egg-shaped, elliptical or oblong, more or less Sessility (botany), sessile leaves with many fine, almost parallel veins and a sharp point on the tip. The flowers are usually arranged singly in leaf axils with small bracts grading to larger Bract#Bracteole, bracteoles at the base and five, usually coloured sepals. The petals are fused to form a cylindrical tube with their tips rolled back. The inside of the petal tube is hairy and the five stamens and thread-like Style (botany), style extend beyond the end of the tube. The fruit is a drupe with a dry ...

Astroloma
''Astroloma'' is a historically recognised genus of about 25 species of flowering plants in the family Ericaceae and endemic to Australia. The genus was first described in 1810 by Robert Brown in his ''Prodromus Florae Novae Hollandiae''. Plants of the World Online considers ''Astroloma'' to be a synonym of '' Styphelia''. As of September 2023, all the species in the list below are now considered to be included in ''Styphelia'' or in some cases, in ''Stenanthera'' or ''Brachyloma''. The name ''Astroloma'' is derived from the Ancient Greek words ''astron'' = a star and ''loma'' = a fringe, alluding to five tufts of hairs which form a star at the bottom of the inside of the floral tube. The following is a list of species formerly included in ''Astroloma'': * '' Astroloma acervatum'' Hislop & A.J.G.Wilson (now '' Styphelia acervata'') * '' Astroloma baxteri'' A.Cunn. ex DC. (now '' Brachyloma baxteri'') * '' Astroloma chloranthum'' Hislop & A.J.G.Wilson (now '' Styphelia chlo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Styphelia Viridis (5969284894)
''Styphelia viridis'', commonly called green five corners, is a plant in the family Ericaceae and is endemic to the east coast of Australia. It owes its common name to the appearance of its fruit - a drupe with a flat top and five distinct ribs, and to the colour of its flowers. The flowers appear in autumn and winter and are a source of food for honeyeaters. In describing this species, Henry Cranke Andrews noted: "''Few of the plants from New Holland have excited more admiration than the Styphelias....our present plant, together with the other species already known from dried specimens, lead us to conjecture that the genus is as copious as any, Banksias not excepted, from that country.''" Description ''Styphelia viridis'' is an erect or straggly, small shrub growing to a height of no more than and usually much less. The branchlets are stiff and covered with very fine, white hairs. The leaves are similar to those of other styphelias, long, wide and lance shaped, tapering t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Styphelia Foliosa
''Styphelia foliosa'', commonly known as candle cranberry, is a species of flowering plant in the family Ericaceae and is endemic to the Perth region of Western Australia. The species was first formally described in 1845 by German botanist Otto Wilhelm Sonder, who gave it the name ''Astroloma foliosum'' in Lehmann's ''Plantae Preissianae'', based on plant material collected by James Drummond at Maddington.
