Phlebocarya ciliata is a plant in the Haemodoraceae family,[1] native to Western Australia.[3]
It was first described by Robert Brown in 1810.[1][2]
Description
Phlebocarya ciliata has flat leaves with leaf blades that are 25-65 cm by 1.6-3.7 mm and have fringed margins (though sometimes only towards the apex or the base).[4] The flowerhead is about 1/3 to 2/3 as long as the leaves. The style is simple and there is one stigma.[4]
It flowers from September to November and grows in heath and woodland in swampy to well-drained sandy soils.[4]
Etymology
The species epithet, ciliata, is a Latin adjective, ciliatus (from cilium, "eyelash") and thus describes the plant as having fine hairs extending from an edge, like an eyelash.[5]
