Collections data for A. maidenii from the Australasian Virtual Herbarium |
Amyema maidenii is a species of flowering plant within the genus Amyema, an epiphytic hemiparasitic plant of the family Loranthaceae native to Australia and found Australia-wide in the inland (but not in Victoria nor Tasmania). [3] [4]
Its inflorescence is composed of two opposite triads, with all the flowers being sessile. [3] The leaves are flat. [3]
A. maidenii is found on Acacias. [3] [5]
The earliest record in an Australian herbarium is MEL 22373491, [4] which was collected in 1860 by Hermann Beckler on the Scropes Range (about 57 km north of Menindee) during the Victorian Exploring expedition. [6] It was first described by Blakely in 1922 as Loranthus maidenii, [1] [7] but in 1962 was placed in the genus Amyema by Barlow. [2]
