Restricted to a single population in Torndirrup National Park,[1] it is critically endangered. In 1840, Robert Marnock described this species as: Undoubtedly one of the most beautiful of the floral productions of the South-Western Coast of Australia. Sir William Hooker says, 'We figure it on account of its great beauty, a beauty which is scarcely altered by drying, for the form and colour of both leaves and flowers is truly of that kind called everlasting; and partly with the hope that our cultivators may be induced to import this lovely plant as an ornament to our greenhouses. Nothing can exceed the richness of the bright purple perianths and the contrasting deep orange-coloured anthers. It grows in sandy soil among shrubs.[2]John Lindley also remarked on the beauty of this species: "In the first place there is that most beautiful plant Calectasia cyanea, R.Br., a bush like an Adansonia, with quantities of large blue flowers with deep orange-coloured anthers; this is the handsomest Endogen in the Colony."[3] DescriptionCalectasia cyanea is a clump forming woody perennial herb growing to a height of about {{convert|60|cm|in|sigfig=1}} and a width of {{convert|30|cm|in|sigfig=1}}. Unlike some other members of the genus (such as C. grandiflora) this species lacks a rhizome, the stems have only a few short side branches and the leaves are {{convert|6.5-13.2|mm|in|sigfig=1}} long and {{convert|1.0-1.3|mm|in|sigfig=1}} wide. The six petals are dark blue, fading to white with age and the central anthers are yellow, turning orange-red with age.[4] Flowers appear from June to October.[5]Taxonomy and namingCalectasia cyanea is one of eleven species in the genus Calectasia. It was first described by Robert Brown in Prodromus Florae Novae Hollandiae in 1810.[6] The specific epithet (cyanea) is from the Ancient Greek κυανοῦς (kyanós) meaning "dark blue" referring to the flower colour.[7] Common names include blue tinsel lily and star of Bethlehem.[8]Distribution and habitatThe Star of Bethlehem has a very restricted distribution in the Torndirrup National Park and Albany regions of the South West Botanical Province.[4] Old records show it as being common in the region of King George Sound but much of this area is now urbanised as the city of Albany or devoted to agriculture. It grows in yellow sand over laterite.[4] The total population was estimated at around 70 plants in 2005 in an area around 0.02 square kilometres.[1] Conservation statusCalectasia cyanea is classified as Critically endangered by the Department of the Environment and Water Resources and the Department of the Environment, Canberra.[1] It is vulnerable to, and threatened by, dieback (Phytophthora cinnamomi) and grazing by the western grey kangaroo.[1]References1. ^1 2 3 4 {{cite web|last1=Douglas|first1=Craig |last2=Barrett|first2=Sarah|last3=Fairs|first3=Amanda|title=Blue Tinsel Lily (Calectasia cyanea) recovery plan|url=http://www.environment.gov.au/system/files/resources/bb23dd69-57b6-4177-97a9-53f9989d870f/files/calectasia-cyanea.pdf|publisher=Australian Government Department of Conservation and Environment|accessdate=20 April 2016}} {{Taxonbar|from=Q15545995}}2. ^{{cite journal|last1=Marnock|first1=Robert|title=Notices of New Plants|journal=The Floricultural Magazine and Miscellany of Gardening|date=1840|volume=V|page=158|url=https://books.google.com.au/books?id=zkMZAQAAIAAJ&pg=PA158}} 3. ^{{cite book|last1=Lindley|first1=John|title=Edward's botanical register, volume 25|date=1839|publisher=James Ridgway, Piccadilly|location=London|page=lvii|url=https://books.google.com.au/books?id=UH1MAAAAYAAJ&pg=PR57}} 4. ^1 2 {{cite journal|last1=Barrett|first1=Russell L.|last2=Dixon|first2=Kingsley W.|title=A revision of the genus Calectasia (Calectasiaceae) with eight new species described from south-west Western Australia|journal=Nuytsia|date=8 January 2001|volume=13|issue=3|pages=411–48 [422]|url=https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Russell_Barrett/publication/234814283_A_revision_of_the_genus_Calectasia_(Calectasiaceae)_with_eight_new_species_described_from_south-west_Western_Australia/links/00b49523d24d0055dd000000.pdf|accessdate=18 February 2015}} 5. ^{{cite book|last1=Paczkowska|first1=Grazyna|last2=Chapman|first2=Alex R.|title=The Western Australian flora : a descriptive catalogue|date=2000|publisher=Wildflower Society of Western Australia|location=Perth|isbn=0646402439|page=58}} 6. ^{{cite web|last1=Brown|first1=Robert|title=Prodromus florae Novae Hollandiae et Insulae Van-Diemen : exhibens characteres plantarum|pages=263–264|url=https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/item/21771#page/133/mode/1up|accessdate=19 February 2015}} 7. ^H.
