''Persoonia myrtilloides'', commonly known as myrtle geebung, is a shrub species that is endemic to New South Wales in Australia. It grows to between in height and has leaves that are between long and wide. Yellow flowers appear between December and April in the species native range. ''Persoonia myrtilloides'' was first formally described in 1827. Two subspecies are currently recognised, distinguished by the shape of leaves and tepals:〔 *''P. myrtilloides'' subsp. ''cunninghamii'' (R.Br.) L.A.S.Johnson & P.H.Weston which has broader leaves and reflexed tepal tips.〔 *''P. myrtilloides'' Sieber ex Schult. & Schult.f. subsp. ''myrtilloides'' which has narrower leaves and recurved tepal tips.〔 Hybrids with ''P. acerosa'', ''P. levis'' and ''P. recedens'' have been reported where the parent species both occur. The species occurs in the Blue Mountains from Wentworth Falls northwards to Capertee.〔 Subspecies ''cunninghamii'' is found in the Wollemi National Park and the catchment of the Cudgegong River.〔 Both subspecies are understory plants in open forests on sandstone-based soils. Subspecies ''myrtilloides'' is associated with trees such as sydney peppermint (''Eucalyptus piperita''), narrow-leaved peppermint (''E. radiata'') and silvertop ash (''E. sieberi''), and a shrubby understory of old man banksia (''Banksia serrata''), ''Phyllota squarrosa'', paperbark teatree (''Leptospermum trinervium'') and mountain devil (''Lambertia formosa''). It is also found in heath. Subspecies ''cunninghamii'' is associated with the trees scribbly gum species ''Eucalyptus rossii'' and ''E. sclerophylla'', rough-barked apple (''Angophora floribunda''), ''Callitris'' species, and mallees such as ''Eucalyptus multicaulis'' and narrow-leaved mountain mallee (''E. apiculata'').〔 Currawongs and possibly kangaroos and possums are thought to eat the fruit, the seeds of which are then scattered in droppings.〔 Insects recorded foraging at flowers of subspecies ''myrtilloides'' include members of the genera ''Exoneura'', ''Hylaeus'' and ''Odyneurus'', ''Homalictus holochorus'', colletid bees of the genus ''Leioproctus'' subgenus ''Cladocerapis'', including ''Leioproctus carinatifrons'', ''L. raymenti'', ''L. speculiferus'' and ''Trigona carbonaria''.〔 ==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「Persoonia myrtilloides」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
