}}Calothamnus brevifolius is a plant in the myrtle family, Myrtaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It is a small, highly branched shrub with almost cylindrical, pointed leaves and red flowers in summer. In 2014 Craven, Edwards and Cowley proposed that the species be renamed Melaleuca hawkeswoodii.[1]

Description

Calothamnus brevifolius is a small, spreading, densely branched, glabrous shrub growing to a height of about {{convert|0.5|m|ft|sigfig=1}} with thick bark on the older stems. Its leaves are mostly crowded on the younger branches, {{convert|7-15|mm|in|sigfig=1}} long, {{convert|0.5-0.8|mm|in|sigfig=1}} wide, linear, almost circular in cross section and tapering to a sharp but not prickly point.[2]

The flowers are dark pink and arranged in short dense clusters of 1 to 5 around the stem, usually on the younger branches. The petals are papery and {{convert|5-6|mm|in|sigfig=1}} long. The stamens are arranged in claw-like bundles with 15 to 20 stamens per bundle. Flowering occurs in January and February and is followed by fruits which are woody, roughly cylindrical capsules, {{convert|1.5-2|mm|in|sigfig=1}} wide.[2]

Taxonomy and naming

Calothamnus brevifolius was first formally described in 1984 by Trevor Hawkeswood from a specimen found on a roadside {{convert|11|km|mi|sigfig=1}} east of Piawaning.[2][3] The specific epithet (brevifolius) is from the Latin brevi meaning "short"[4] and folius meaning "leaf",[5] referring to the characteristically short leaves of this species.[2]

Distribution and habitat

Calothamnus brevifolius is only known from the Piawaning, Cunderdin, Corrigin and Marchagee districts[2] in the Avon Wheatbelt, Geraldton Sandplains and Mallee biogeographic regions.[6] It usually grows in sand or loamy soil in association with Xylomelum angustifolium, Banksia prionotes, Melaleuca acuminata or Thryptomene prolifera.[2]

Conservation

Calothamnus brevifolius is listed as "Priority 4" by the Western Australian government Department of Parks and Wildlife[6] meaning that it is rare or near threatened.[7]
