Calothamnus
''Calothamnus'' is a genus of shrubs in the family Myrtaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. They are commonly known as one-sided bottlebrush, although the name is not accurate because some species have flowers in cylinders or scattered around the stems. The flowers of ''Calothamnus quadrifidus'' are on one side of the stem, so the name ''one-sided bottlebrush'' is appropriate for that species. ''Calothamnus'' species are generally medium to tall woody shrubs with crowded leaves. The petals fall off the flower soon after it opens but the stamens are long and brightly coloured. ==Description== Plants in the genus ''Calothamnus'' are medium to tall shrubs, sometimes low-growing ground covers. The leaves are linear or narrow egg-shaped with the narrower end towards the base, and usually have distinct oil glands. The flowers are in small groups or dense spikes on leafless, older stems or between the leaves on younger ones. The sepals are fused to form a bell-shaped cup and there are 4 or 5 petals which usually fall off after the flower has opened. The stamens are brightly coloured, crimson to a deep purple or rarely yellow, and are joined for a large proportion of their length into a "claw". The fruit is a woody capsule.
