Calotis glabrescens C.T.White

Taxonomy & Nomenclature

"Accepted, but the type series only contains two fruits and appears intermediate between C. lappulacea and C. scapigera, suggesting hybrid origin - cannot be resolved without further specimens"

(Silcock et al., 2019:SM:3)

Conservation Status

Missing (Silcock et al., 2019:SM:3 ['Possibly extant']) or Extinct (Albani Rocchetti et al., 2022)

Last (and only) record: 1944 (Silcock et al., 2019:SM:2)

"No targeted surveys in September after winter rain...Further surveys after winter rain recommended; Bybera the small property has been cleared, but this is also the name for a district, which fits better with White's location description 'between Inglewood and Millmerran'"

(Silcock et al., 2019:SM:3)

Distribution

Queensland, Australia
