Styphelia flavescens is a species of flowering plant in the heath family Ericaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It is a shrub with oblong leaves and white, tube-shaped flowers that are densely bearded on the inside.

Description

[edit]

Styphelia flavescens is an erect shrub that typically grows up to a height of 0.6–1.2 m (2 ft 0 in – 3 ft 11 in) and has minutely, softly-hairy branches. Its leaves are moderately crowded, oblong, 6–12 mm (0.24–0.47 in) long on a very short petiole. The flowers are arranged singly in leaf axils with bracteoles but no bracts at the base. The sepals are less than 2 mm (0.079 in) long, the petals white and densely hairy on the inside.[2]

Taxonomy and naming

[edit]

This species was first formally described in 1845 by Otto Wilhelm Sonder in Johann Georg Christian Lehmann's Plantae Preissianae.[3][4] In 1867, Ferdinand von Mueller transferred the species to Styphelia as S. flavescens in Fragmenta phytographiae Australiae.[1][5] The specific epithet (flavescens) means "yellowish", referring to the leaves when dried.[6]

Distribution

[edit]

This styphelia occurs in the Avon Wheatbelt, Esperance Plains and Jarrah Forest bioregions in the south-west of Western Australia.[7]

Conservation status

[edit]

Styphelia flavescens is listed as "not threatened" by the Government of Western Australia Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions.[7]
