Proteaceae
The Proteaceae form a family of flowering plants predominantly distributed in the Southern Hemisphere. The family comprises 83 genera with about 1,660 known species. Together with the Platanaceae and Nelumbonaceae, they make up the order Proteales. Well-known genera include '' Protea'', '' Banksia'', '' Embothrium'', '' Grevillea'', '' Hakea'' and '' Macadamia''. Species such as the New South Wales waratah ('' Telopea speciosissima''), king protea ('' Protea cynaroides''), and various species of ''Banksia'', ''soman'', and ''Leucadendron'' are popular cut flowers. The nuts of '' Macadamia integrifolia'' are widely grown commercially and consumed, as are those of Gevuina avellana on a smaller scale. Australia and South Africa have the greatest concentrations of diversity. Etymology The name Proteaceae was adapted by Robert Brown from the name Proteae coined in 1789 for the family by Antoine Laurent de Jussieu, based on the genus ''Protea'', which in 1767 Carl Linnaeus ...

Adenanthos Macropodianus
''Adenanthos macropodianus'', commonly known as gland flower, or Kangaroo Island gland flower, is a species of shrub in the family Proteaceae. It is endemic to Kangaroo Island in South Australia.

Adenanthos Labillardierei
''Adenanthos labillardierei'' is a species of erect shrub endemic to the slopes of the Barren Ranges in the Fitzgerald River National Park in southwest Western Australia. Description It grows as an erect shrub, usually less than m in height. Like many ''Adenanthos'' species, its leaves are deeply divided into long, soft, slender laciniae, in this case usually five, but occasionally up to nine. Flowers are dark claret at the apex, but range from cream to claret at the base. The perianth tube may be up to 25 mm long, and the style up to 33 mm long. This species is very similar in appearance to its close relative '' A. filifolius'', but the latter has cream and black or dark navy blue flowers, and leaves with many more laciniae than ''A. labillardierei''. Taxonomy There are botanical collections attributable to this species dating back at least to 1925, but it was not until 1978 that Ernest Charles Nelson published the species in his comprehensive taxonom ...

Adenanthos Ileticos
''Adenanthos ileticos'' is a species of shrub in the family Proteaceae. It has roughly triangular, lobed leaves, and pale pink-red and cream, inconspicuous flowers. A rare species, it is known only from a single location in the south-west of Western Australia. It was discovered in 1968, and immediately brought into cultivation, but it would not be formally published and named until a decade later. Description ''Adenanthos ileticos'' grows as an erect, spreading lignotuberous shrub, usually up to 2 m (7 ft) high, but occasionally to 3 m (10 ft). It has roughly triangular leaves, up to 10 mm long and around 5 mm wide, with three lobes across the top. The flowers, which appear between August and November, are pale pink-red and cream, with a style which is about 32 mm long. It is somewhat similar in appearance to '' A. cuneatus'' and '' A. forrestii'', but the former has much larger leaves, and the other much deeper lobes, than ''A. ...

Adenanthos Glabrescens Subsp
''Adenanthos'' is a genus of Australian native shrubs in the flowering plant family Proteaceae. Variable in habit and leaf shape, it is the only genus in the family where solitary flowers are the norm. It was discovered in 1791, and formally published by Jacques Labillardière in 1805. The type species is ''Adenanthos cuneatus'', and 33 species are recognised. The genus is placed in subfamily Proteoideae, and is held to be most closely related to several South African genera. Endemic to Australia, its centre of diversity is southwest Western Australia, where 31 species occur. The other two species occur in South Australia and western Victoria (Australia). They are mainly pollinated by birds. Description Habit The growth habits of ''Adenanthos'' species range from prostrate shrubs to small trees, with most species occurring as erect shrubs. There are two basic growth forms. Plants that lack a lignotuber have a single stem. Such plants usually grow into fairly erect ...

Adenanthos Glabrescens
''Adenanthos glabrescens'' is a species of small shrub endemic to the Ravensthorpe area in southwest Western Australia. First published in 1978, there are two subspecies.

Taxonomy There are botanical collections attributable to this species dating back at least to 1924, but it was not until 1978 that Ernest Charles Nelson published the species in his comprehensive taxonomic revision of the genus.
