Eremaea ectadioclada is a plant in the myrtle family, Myrtaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It is a low, spreading shrub with small leaves, and orange-coloured flowers on the ends of the long branches which grew in the previous year.

Description

Eremaea ectadioclada is a low, spreading shrub growing to a height of {{convert|0.7|m|ft|sigfig=1}}. Its younger branches are densely covered with fine hairs. The leaves are {{convert|4-10|mm|in|sigfig=1}} long, {{convert|0.4-2.0|mm|in|sigfig=1}} wide, narrow egg-shaped, tapering to a point. There is a single vein, sometimes three veins visible on the lower surface.[1]

The flowers are orange-coloured and occur singly or (rarely) in pairs, on the ends of the longer branches which grew in the previous year. There are 5 sepals which are densely covered with hairs on the outside surface and 5 petals {{convert|4-6|mm|in|sigfig=2}} long. The stamens, which give the flower its colour, are arranged in 5 bundles, each containing 16 to 36 stamens. Flowering occurs from July to November and is followed by fruits which are woody capsules. The capsules are {{convert|6.9-8.0|mm|in|sigfig=2}} long, rough and scaly on the outer surface and more or less barrel-shaped or cup-shaped. This species can be distinguished from other eremaeas by its rough, usually star-shaped fruit and narrow leaves.[1]

Taxonomy and naming

Eremaea ectadioclada was first formally described in 1993 by Roger Hnatiuk in Nuytsia.[1][2] The specific epithet (ectadioclada) is from the Ancient Greek ektadios meaning "spreading" and klados meaning "branch" in reference to the growth form of this species.[1]

Distribution and habitat

Eremaea ectadioclada is found in near-coastal areas of the Irwin district between Eneabba and Jurien Bay[1] in the Geraldton Sandplains biogeographic region.[3] It grows in sandy soil over laterite on sandplains.[4]

Conservation

Eremaea ectadioclada is classified as "not threatened" by the Western Australian Government Department of Parks and Wildlife.[3]
