}}Calothamnus macrocarpus is a plant in the myrtle family, Myrtaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It is an erect shrub with bright red flowers in spring and large, almost spherical fruit. It has a limited distribution near Hopetoun. (In 2014 Craven, Edwards and Cowley proposed that the species be renamed Melaleuca macrocarpa.)[1]

Description

Calothamnus macrocarpus is an erect shrub with many branches growing to a height of about {{convert|2-3|m|ft|sigfig=1}}. Its leaves are crowded, {{convert|20-30|mm|in|sigfig=1}} long, {{convert|1-2|mm|in|sigfig=1}} in diameter, cylindrical in shape and taper to a non-prickly point. There are prominent oil glands on the leaves.[2][3]

The flowers are deep red usually in small clusters between the leaves. The petals are {{convert|6-8|mm|in|sigfig=1}} long, thin, papery and pink to brown. The stamens are arranged in 5 claw-like bundles usually with 26 to 28 stamens per bundle. Flowering occurs from August to December and is followed by fruits which are woody, almost spherical capsules, {{convert|13-18|mm|in|sigfig=1}} in diameter, which are often hidden in the foliage.[2]

Taxonomy and naming

Calothamnus macrocarpus was first formally described in 1984 by Trevor Hawkeswood in the botanical journal Nuytsia.[2][4] The specific epithet (macrocarpus) is from the Ancient Greek words μακρός (makrós) meaning "long"[5] and Καρπός (Karpós) meaning "fruit"[6] referring to the unusually large fruit of this species.[2]

Distribution and habitat

Calothamnus macrocarpus occurs near the summit of East Mount Barren near Hopetoun in the Esperance Plains biogeographic region[2][3] where it grows in sand and soils derived from quartzite.[7]

Conservation

Calothamnus macrocarpus is classified as "Priority Two" by the Western Australian government department of parks and wildlife,[3] meaning that it is poorly known and from only one or a few locations, mostly in reserves or national parks.[8]
