Commersonia
''Commersonia'' is a genus of twenty-five species of flowering plants in the family Malvaceae. Plants in this genus are shrubs or trees, occurring from Indochina to Australia and have stems, leaves and flowers covered with star-like hairs. The leaves are simple, often with irregularly-toothed edges, the flowers bisexual with five sepals, five petals and five stamens and the fruit a capsule with five valves. The genus underwent a revision in 2011 and some species were separated from ''Commersonia'', others were added from ''Rulingia''. Taxonomy The genus ''Coommersonia'' was first formally described in 1775 by Johann Reinhold Forster and his son Georg Forster in the book ''Characteres generum plantarum'' and the first species they described was ''Commersonia echinata'', now known as '' Commersonia bartramia''. A revision of the genus in 2011 added 3 newly described species, as well as 14 species previously included in ''Rulingia'', and transferred a number of species to the newl ...

Commersonia Corniculata
''Commersonia corniculata'' is a species of flowering plant in the family Malvaceae and endemic to Western Australia. It is a hairy-stemmed shrub. The leaves are irregularly or tripartitely lobed, and are covered in both simple and stellate hairs. Taxonomy ''Commersonia corniculata'' was first formally described as ''Lasiopetalum corniculatum'' in 1822 by the English botanist James Edward Smith, from material gathered at King George Sound by Archibald Menzies. In 2018 Kelly Anne Shepherd and Carolyn Wilkins examined the material and determined that it matched the later described species, ''Commersonia cygnorum'' (described by Ernst Gottlieb von Steudel in 1845). Since ''Lasiopetalum corniculatum'' is the first legitimate description of the plant, the name needed to be changed to ''Commersonia corniculata''. Distribution and habitat This species is found in Western Australia, in Beard's South-West Province. References External links ''Commersonia corniculata'' occurre ...
