}}Calothamnus montanus is a plant in the myrtle family, Myrtaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It is an erect shrub with short, needle-shaped leaves and red flowers with four stamen bundles. (In 2014 Craven, Edwards and Cowley proposed that the species be renamed Melaleuca georgi.)[1]

Description

Calothamnus montanus is a shrub growing to a height of about {{convert|2|m|ft|sigfig=1}} with stems that are hairy at first but become glabrous and thick over time. Its leaves are needle-like, mostly {{convert|3.5-11|mm|in|sigfig=1}} long and {{convert|0.8-1.0|mm|in|sigfig=1}} wide and circular in cross section.[2]

The flowers have 4 sepals and 4 petals. The stamens are partly red, partly green and are arranged in 4 claw-like bundles, each about {{convert|25-28|mm|in|sigfig=2}} long. The petals are {{convert|2.5-3|mm|in|sigfig=2}} long. Flowering occurs from October to January and is followed by fruits which are woody, flattened spherical capsules, {{convert|3-5|mm|in|sigfig=1}} long and partly buried in the stem.[2]

Taxonomy and naming

Calothamnus montanus was first formally described in 2010 by Alex George from a specimen found in the Stirling Range National Park.[2][3] The specific epithet (montanus) is a Latin word meaning "pertaining to mountains"[4] in reference to the habitat of this species.[2]

Distribution and habitat

Calothamnus montanus occurs in the Stirling Range National Park in the Esperance Plains biogeographic region where it grows in soil derived from metamorphic rocks.[2][5]

Conservation

Calothamnus montanus is classified as "not threatened" by the Western Australian government department of parks and wildlife.[5]
