''Stenocarpus umbelliferus'' is a species of flowering plant in the family Proteaceae. It is endemic to New Caledonia.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://www.endemia.nc/plante/fiche.php?code=2328 )〕 It has a prostrate or upright habit, growing up to 5 metres in height. Stems are flattened when young, later becoming rounded. The leaves are thick and leathery with a slightly wavy margin. These may be ovate, elliptic, lanceolate or spathulate in shape with petioles that are 3 to 12 mm long. White, cream or pale yellow flowers occur in groups of 3 to 8 per umbel. These are followed by dark-coloured glabrous follicles that are 25 to 80 mm long and 3 to 5 mm wide.〔 The species was collected by botanist Johann Reinhold Forster and his son Georg Forster during James Cook's second voyage (1772-1775) and formally described by them in 1775.〔 Two varieties are currently recognised: *''S. umbelliferus'' var. ''billardieri'' (Brongn. & Gris) Guillaumin *''S. umbelliferus'' (JR.& G.Forster) Druce var. ''umbelliferus''〔 The species is common at altitudes between 20 and 1300 metres on the mainland as well as the Isle of Pines.〔 ==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「Stenocarpus umbelliferus」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
