''Verticordia insignis'' is a shrub, up to 1.5 m tall, found in Southwest Australia. The plant was first collected by Carl von Huegel at the Swan River, Western Australia in 1833. It was described by Endlicher in 1837, who gave it the name ''insignis''. The scented flowers are white, with a deep pink to red centre, and are noted for their attractive appearance. These appear in erect clusters, the many small flowers are given a silvery appearance by the colour of the sepals. It is found along the Darling Scarp, Northam, and is well distributed in the woodlands and heath surrounding Perth. It often appears in association with other ''Verticordia'' on grey or yellow sands, granitic areas, and on gravel and rocks. The formal description of the species was published by Stephan Endlicher in his Enumeratio plantarum in 1837. In the 1991 revision of the genus ''Verticordia'' by A.S. George, three subspecies of ''Verticordia insignis'' Endl. (1828) were described: *''Verticordia insignis'' subsp. ''insignis'' *''Verticordia insignis'' subsp. ''compta'' (Endl.) A.S. George (1991) *''Verticordia insignis'' subsp. ''eomagis'' A.S.George (1991) ==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 insignis」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
