''Verticordia monadelpha'' is a shrub found in Southwest Australia. It is commonly referred to by the names Pink Morrison, Woolly Featherflower, Pink or White Woolly Featherflower, and Pink Cauliflower. ==Description== The species is varies in sizes up to 1.7 metres and 2.0 metres in diameter, with many branches on a single main stem. The habit of the shrub is dense and rounded. The plant displays pink to reddish purple flowers, during a period from October to January. These are crowded and erect, in a corymbose arrangement that cover the rounded shrub in blooms. Long cilia form a fringe on each flower, this gives the plant a wooly appearance. The leaves are long and thin, coming to a point, and are sharply triangular and ridged in outline. The length is between 7 and 20 mm long. Floral leaves are similar to those found on the stem. ''V. monadelpha'' is found on deep sand, gravelly sand, and lateritic soils. It often occurs with other ''Verticordia'' in heathlands and open shrubland, perhaps in association with ''Actinstrobus arenarius'' and ''Banksia sceptrum''. It occurs in woodlands, sandplains, and heathland of regions northeast of Perth. The first description of this species was published by Turczaninow from a specimen collected by James Drummond, sometime in the 1840s.〔Turczaninow, P.K.N.S. (1847) Bulletin de la Societe Imperiale des Naturalistes de Moscou 20(1): 158 Type: "Nova Hollandia. Drum. coll. n. 27." (''per'' (APNI ))〕 ''V. monadelpha'' is the type species nominated by Alex George for the section of ''Verticordia'' known as ''Verticordia'' sect. ''Intricata''. 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 monadelpha」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
