Calothamnus torulosus is a plant in the myrtle family, Myrtaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It is sometimes an erect, sometimes prostrate shrub which has pine-like leaves and usually red, 4-part flowers. It is similar to Calothamnus sanguineus except that it has larger fruiting capsules.

Description

Calothamnus torulosus grows to about {{convert|0.4|m|ft}} tall and has leaves that are about {{convert|20-50|mm|in|sigfig=1}} long. The leaves are circular in cross section and sometimes have a few scattered hairs.[1][2][3]

The flowers are red or sometimes a shade of green to scarlet.[1] They have 4 petals and 4 claw-like bundles of stamens with the upper 2 claws broad and flat, sometimes joined for part of their length.[2] Unlike some others in the genus, the flowers and fruit are never buried in corky bark.[4][5]

Flowering occurs from September to October[3] and is followed by fruits which are woody, almost spherical capsules. The fruiting capsules have four prominently thickened lobes and are about {{convert|15|mm|in|sigfig=1}} long and wide.[5]

Taxonomy and naming

Calothamnus torulosus was first formally described by Johannes Schauer in 1843 in ''Dissertatio phytographica de Regelia, Beaufortia et Calothamno from a specimen collected "at the top of the hill at the foot of the mountains of the Darling Range, not far from the town Maddington", now a suburb of Perth.[6] The specific epithet (torulosus) is derived from a Latin word torulus meaning "a tuft of hair".[7]

Distribution and habitat

Calothamnus torulosus occurs from Perth to Eneabba[4] in the Geraldton Sandplains, Jarrah Forest and Swan Coastal Plain biogeographic regions,[3] where it grows on sand and rocky soils derived from granite.[8]

Conservation

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