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

Description

Calothamnus phellosus is a shrub growing to a height of about {{convert|4|m|ft|sigfig=1}} and a width of about {{convert|6|m|ft|sigfig=1}}. Its leaves are needle-like, mostly {{convert|25-80|mm|in|sigfig=1}} long and {{convert|0.7-1.1|mm|in|sigfig=1}} wide, circular in cross section and tapering to a sharp, prickly point.[2]

The flowers have 5 sepals and 5 petals. The stamens are bright red and are arranged in 5 claw-like bundles, each about {{convert|22-40|mm|in|sigfig=2}} long. The petals are {{convert|4.0-4.5|mm|in|sigfig=2}} long. Flowering occurs from September to November and is followed by fruits which are woody, flattened spherical capsules, {{convert|7-11|mm|in|sigfig=1}} long, often tightly packed together and which develop a corky bark.[2]

Taxonomy and naming

Calothamnus phellosus was first formally described in 2010 by Alex George in Nuytsia from a specimen found in the north of the Murchison River near Eurardy.[2][3] The specific epithet (phellosus) is an Ancient Greek word meaning "corky" referring to the outer surface of the fruit of this species.[2]

Distribution and habitat

Calothamnus phellosus occurs in the Avon Wheatbelt, Geraldton Sandplains and Yalgoo biogeographic regions.[4]

Conservation

Calothamnus phellosus is classified as "not threatened" by the Western Australian government department of parks and wildlife.[4]
