''Adenanthos pungens'' (Spiky Adenanthos) is a species of shrub in the family Proteaceae. It is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. The species may be prostrate or erect in habit. The stiff, prickly and terete leaves are 30 mm in length and 1 to 2 mm in diameter. The flowers appear in clusters at the ends of the branchlets. These have a 30 mm long perianth which is either pale pink and cream or deeper pink. Styles are about 40 mm long, with or without hairs at the tips. The species was first formally described in 1845 in ''Plantae Preissianae'' by Carl Meissner.〔 There are two recognised subspecies: *''A. pungens'' subsp. ''effusus'' - erect habit with dark pink flowers.〔 *''A. pungens'' subsp. ''pungens'' - prostrate habit with pale pink flowers.〔 Both subspecies are highly susceptible to ''Phytophthora cinnamomi'' dieback. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Adenanthos pungens」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
