}}Calothamnus oldfieldii is a plant in the myrtle family, Myrtaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It is a small, spreading shrub with needle-shaped leaves and clusters of red flowers with 5 petals and 5 stamen bundles. (In 2014 Craven, Edwards and Cowley proposed that the species be renamed Melaleuca augusti-oldfieldii.)[1]

Description

Calothamnus oldfieldii is a small shrub growing to a height of about {{convert|1.5|m|ft|sigfig=1}}. Its leaves are {{convert|25-50|mm|in|sigfig=1}} long and nearly circular in cross section and taper to a pointed end.[2][3]

The flowers are bright red and arranged in small groups and the stamens are arranged in 5 claw-like bundles. Flowering occurs from July to November and is followed by fruits which are woody capsules about {{convert|5|mm|in|sigfig=1}} long.[2][3]

Taxonomy and naming

Calothamnus oldfieldii was first formally described by Victorian Government Botanist Ferdinand von Mueller in 1862 in Volume 3, Part 21 of Fragmenta Phytographiae Australiae.[4][5] The specific epithet (oldfieldii) honours Augustus Frederick Oldfield, an English botanist and plant collector.

Distribution and habitat

Calothamnus oldfieldii occurs in the Carnarvon, Geraldton Sandplains and Yalgoo biogeographic regions[3] where it grows in sandy kwongan.[2][6]

Conservation

Calothamnus oldfieldii is classified as "not threatened" by the Western Australian government department of parks and wildlife.[3]
