Bellendena
''Bellendena montana'', commonly known as Mountain Rocket, is a species of low-growing multi-stemmed shrub in the plant family Proteaceae. It is endemic to high-altitude subalpine and alpine regions in Tasmania, Australia. The prominent white flower spikes appear over summer, followed by small bright red or yellow fruit in late summer and autumn.
Described by Robert Brown in 1810, it is the sole member of the genus ''Bellendena'', which is in turn the sole member of subfamily Bellendenoideae, and represents an early offshoot within the family.
==Taxonomy==
Scottish botanist Robert Brown described the mountain rocket in 1810 as ''Bellendena montana'', naming the genus in honour of John Bellenden Ker Gawler for his botanical works. The species name is the Latin adjective ''montanus'' and refers to its montane habitat. Its common name refers to its red-tipped rocket-shaped flowerheads.〔
Phylogenetic studies often place this genus as basal (one of the earliest offshoots) to the rest of the Proteaceae, though its exact position and relationships are unclear. A 2006 molecular analysis by Weston and Barker located it as sister to the subfamily Persoonioideae, the two sharing a common ancestor which diverged from the other Proteaceae. However, the genus has an anatomical feature, laterocytic stomata (having 3 or more parallel specialised subsidiary cells), which it shares with the Platanaceae (next closest relatives to the Proteaceae) and no other Proteaceae, which indicate it diverged from all other members of the family first.
