Isopogon Anethifolius
Isopogon anethifolius
Isopogon – from the Greek, isos, equal, and pogon, a beard, referring to the hairs that evenly cover the fruit;
anethifolius – from Anethum, a plant of the flannel flower family, and folium, a leaf (i.e. with leaves like Anethum)
Isopogon anethifolius occurs in the coastal region and Blue Mountains of New South Wales and is one of about six eastern Isopogon species. The common name of Drumsticks alludes to the large knob-like fruits which are a feature of the bush.
The bright yellow flowers are crowded in globular heads at the ends of branches in late spring and throughout the summer months. The fruit, of about 2.5 cm in diameter, persists on the plant for a considerable length of time. It is attractive, both on the plant and in floral decorations.
Isopogon Anethifolius belongs to the following groups:
