Franklandia fucifolia |
Franklandia fucifolia, or lanoline bush, [3] is a species of flowering plant. It is native to the south-west of Western Australia. [4] It belongs to the Proteaceae family. [3] [4]
It was first described by Robert Brown in 1810. [1] [2]
Franklandia fucifolia is a small shrub, which has a fire-tolerant rootstock, and has no surface covering except for the fruit. [5] The leaves are alternate, and divided into erect, terete lobes with prominent glands. [5] The inflorescence is a terminal, few-flowered raceme. [5] The perianth is tubular and has four horizontal lobes. [5] The stamens are inserted at the top of the tube. [5] The ovary is sessile, with one ovule. [5] The fruit is a narrow nut, [5] topped with a rounded-triangular concave plate (5–6 mm wide) and hairy on the outside. [4]
It is widespread in south-western Western Australia, being found from William Bay to Israelite Bay, extending inland to Kojonup and growing on sand in kwongan, and open woodland. [4]
