| Tribulus macrocarpus | |
Tribulus macrocarpus is a species of flowering plant in the family Zygophyllaceae, which is found to the central north of Western Australia,[3] and southern inland Northern Territory and northern South Australia.[4][5]
It was first described by George Bentham in 1863 from a specimen collected by Francis Thomas Gregory from Nicol Bay.[1][2] An holotype (K000725223) collected by Gregory is held at Kew.[6] The specific epithet, macrocarpus, is derived from two Greek roots/words, macro- ("large", "great") and -carpus, ("-fruit" / "-fruited"), and describes the plant as having large fruits.[7]
Conservation status
Under West Australian conservation laws it is deemed to be "not threatened".[3]
