''Verticordia pritzelii'' is a woody shrub found in Western Australia. It is sometimes referred to as Pritzel's featherflower. It has rounded groups of red, pink or purple flowers that appear between November (or October) and January. The species is found in yellow or white to grey, sand, on undulating plains in the Southwest and Eremaean regions of the state, especially arid inland regions. It has also been found nearer the coast at Indarra springs east of Geraldton. The habit is low-growing and compact, 0.1–0.9 metres in height and 0.15–0.45 metres in width, and may have one or several basal stems. It does not possess a lignotuber. The deep colouration of the flowers and its compact habit distinguish the species from other members of ''Verticordia'' sect. ''Catoclypta''. It was first described by Ludwig Diels in 1905; the specific epithet is named for his colleague Ernst Pritzel. The original type specimen was collected by Pritzel in 1901, at Coolgardie, during his visit with the author. This appears to have been lost when the Berlin Herbarium was bombed in World War II. Earlier collections were made in the late 19th century. == 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 pritzelii」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
