Calothamnus cupularis is a plant in the myrtle family, Myrtaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. (In 2014 Craven, Edwards and Cowley proposed that the species be renamed Melaleuca arcuata.)[1] It is a similar shrub to Calothamnus formosus but has larger flowers and fruit.

Description

Calothamnus cupularis is a shrub growing to a height of about {{convert|1.2|m|ft|sigfig=1}} with stems that are hairy at first but become glabrous over time. Its leaves are needle-like, mostly {{convert|40-100|mm|in|sigfig=1}} long and {{convert|1.0-1.3|mm|in|sigfig=1}} wide, circular in cross section and tapering at the end to a sharp point.[2]

The flowers are bright red and have 5 petals and 5 claw-like bundles of stamens, each about {{convert|35-38|mm|in|sigfig=2}} long. The sepals have a thickened rib in their centre and wide papery margins. The petals are {{convert|7-8|mm|in|sigfig=2}} long. Flowering occurs in September or October and is followed by fruits which are woody, smooth, cylindrical capsules, {{convert|12-14|mm|in|sigfig=2}} long.[2]

Taxonomy and naming

Calothamnus cupularis was first formally described in 2010 by Alex George from a specimen found in the Kalbarri National Park.[2][3] The specific epithet (cupularis) is from the Latin word cupula meaning "a small tub" or "a cask"[4] referring to the shape of the fruits of this species.[2]

Distribution and habitat

Calothamnus cupularis occurs in a small area in the Kalbarri National Park,[2] in the Geraldton Sandplains biogeographic region[5] where it grows in sand in kwongan.[2]

Conservation

Calothamnus cupularis is classified as "priority 2" by the Western Australian government Department of Parks and Wildlife[5] meaning that is poorly known and from one or a few locations.[6]
