Stylobasium australe is a species of shrub endemic to Western Australia.[1] It was first described as Macrostigma australe in 1842 by William Jackson Hooker,[2] and reassessed in 1965 as Stylobasium by Ghillean Prance.[3]
Description
Stylobasium australe is a perennial shrub that grows up to 2m high.[4] It has simple leaves with entire margins and flowers from May to October.[4] The flowers are dichogamous, with the male stamens developing first and dehiscing before the female stigma develops (protandry).[5] New plants can grow from root suckers.[5]
