The flowers are relatively small, bright yellow, usually unscented, and arranged in a spike in leaf wikt:axil, axils or on the ends of branchlets. The perianth is tube-shaped and Floral symmetry#Zygomorphic, zygomorphic, the tube opening in the upper third to half. As in many other members of the Proteaceae, the male Stamen#anther, anthers and female Stigma (botany)#Style, style are initially in contact and the end of the style is a Pollen-presenter, pollen presenter. In synapheas (and in ''Conospermum''), the anthers and stigma ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Synaphea Spinulosa
''Synaphea spinulosa'' is a species of small shrub in the flowering plant family Proteaceae. It is endemic to Western Australia. Together with ''Acacia truncata'', it was the first Australian endemism, endemic to be scientifically described and named, and the specimen upon which that description is based is the oldest extant specimen of an Australian plant, and very likely among the first Australian plant specimens ever collected. Description ''Synaphea spinulosa'' grows as a small shrub with multiple steps up to in height. The leaves are deeply divided into three lobes, and each lobe is usually also divided into three. The ultimate lobes are usually triangular, and even these usually end in up to three sharp points. The leaf lamina does not lie flat but is concave. Overall the leaves are from long, and wide, on a petiole (botany), petiole long. Flowers are bright yellow, and occur crowded together in spikes from long, on a branched peduncle (botany), peduncle arising from th ...
