Isopogon buxifolius is a small shrub that is endemic to the south coast of Western Australia in the vicinity of Albany.[1]
Description
Isopogon buxifolius grows as a shrub with an erect habit, ranging from 0.3 to 1.7 m high.[1]
Taxonomy
Isopogon buxifolius was first described by Robert Brown in 1810.[2] In 1891, German botanist Otto Kuntze published Revisio generum plantarum, his response to what he perceived as a lack of method in existing nomenclatural practice.[3] Because Isopogon was based on Isopogon anemonifolius,[4] and that species had already been placed by Richard Salisbury in the segregate genus Atylus in 1807,[5] Kuntze revived the latter genus on the grounds of priority, and made the new combination Atylus buxifolius for this species.[6] However, Kuntze's revisionary program was not accepted by the majority of botanists.[3] Ultimately, the genus Isopogon was nomenclaturally conserved over Atylus by the International Botanical Congress of 1905.[7]
Distribution and habitat
Isopogon buxifolius is found on sandplains, where it grows on sand, gravelly or clay soils in depressions with excess moisture.[1]
