''Verticordia huegelii'' is an upright shrub found in Southwest Australia. The scented flowers are creamy or white, becoming pinkish and reddish or maroon as the flowers ages, giving a variegated appearance to the display. They are without scent. The staminodes are variable in the species, and is a distinguishing characteristic of the varieties. The northern most range is near and east of Geraldton, the species varying in appearance throughout its range south to cooler and moister climate. Small populations exist throughout the Swan Coastal Plain, and further south and east. The plant was first collected by Charles von Hügel at the Swan River, Western Australia in 1833. It was described by Endlicher in his 1837 ''Enumeratio plantarum'', giving the epithet ''huegelii'' to commemorate the botanist. In a revision of the genus ''Verticordia'' by Alex George in 1991, four varieties were described: *''Verticordia huegelii'' var. ''huegelii'' Endl. *''Verticordia huegelii'' var. ''decumbens'' A.S. George *''Verticordia huegelii'' var. ''stylosa'' (Turc.) A.S.George *''Verticordia huegelii'' var. ''tridens'' A.S.George ==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「Verticordia huegelii」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
