''Persoonia laurina'', commonly known as the laurel-leaved or laurel geebung, is a shrub of the family Proteaceae native to central New South Wales in eastern Australia. Found in sclerophyll forest, it grows to a height of . The yellow flowers appear in late spring. ==Taxonomy== ''Persoonia laurina'' was one of five species described by Christiaan Hendrik Persoon in his 1805 work ''Synopsis Plantarum'', from material collected by John White in 1793 and 1794.〔 The species name refers to a resemblance to ''Laurus'' "laurel". James Edward Smith described this species as the rusty persoonia (''Persoonia ferruginea'') in his 1805 book ''Exotic Botany''. The horticulturist Joseph Knight used Smith's name in his controversial 1809 work ''On the cultivation of the plants belonging to the natural order of Proteeae'', as did Robert Brown in his 1810 work ''Prodromus Florae Novae Hollandiae et Insulae Van Diemen''. Brown also recognised that the two names were the same species. In 1870, George Bentham published the first infrageneric arrangement of ''Persoonia'' in Volume 5 of his landmark ''Flora Australiensis''. He divided the genus into three sections, placing ''P. ferruginea'' in ''P.'' sect. ''Amblyanthera''. Within the genus, ''P. laurina'' is classified in the ''Laurina'' group, a group of three species from southeastern Australia that all have a lignotuber. Three subspecies are recognised. First recorded as distinct in 1981, they were officially described as subspecies in 1991 by Lawrie Johnson and Peter Weston. 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「Persoonia laurina」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
