Conothamnus neglectus |
Conothamnus neglectus is a member of the family Myrtaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. [2] This open shrub typically grows to a height of 0.2 to 1.0 metre (0.7 to 3.3 ft). It blooms in between July and September producing yellow flowers. [2]
This plant was first formally described in 1904 by Ludwig Diels who published the description in Botanische jahrbucher fur systematik, pflanzengeschichte und pflanzengeographie under the heading Fragmenta Phytographiae Australiae occidentalis:Beitrage zur Kenntnis der Pflanzen Westaustraliens, ihrer Verbreitung und ihrer Lebensverhaltnisse ("Contributions to the knowledge of the plants of West Australia, where they are found and their conditions of existence"). [3] [4]
In 2014, Lyndley Craven and Robert David Edwards transferred this species to the genus Melaleuca as M. crispii in the Taxon, a name accepted by Plants of the World Online, [5] but not accepted by Australian authorities. (The name M. neglecta was not available, because it had already been used for a different taxon - Melaleuca neglecta. Ewart & B.Wood) The specific epithet (neglectus) means "overlooked", because the species had previously been overlooked. [6]
Found on flats and swampy plains in an area along the south coast in the Avon Wheatbelt, Esperance Plains, Jarrah Forest and Warren bioregions of south-western Western Australia, where it grows in sandy or loamy or clay soils. [2]
