Names and sources
| Accepted Name | Source |
|---|---|
| Comesperma scoparium |
|
| According to:Council of Heads of Australasian Herbaria (2016), Australian Plant Census | |
| Published in:Drummond, J. in Hooker, W.J. (ed.) (1840), XIX. Botanical Information. The Journal of Botany 2 [369-370] | |
|
The authorship of this name is often attributed to J.Steetz, Pl. Preiss. 2(2-3): 309 (1848) but this is later than the publication by Drummond. Drummond’s text is mostly concerned with the use of the plant as a broom but still contains enough descriptive detail of leaves, stems and flowers to distinguish the species and satisfy ICN Art. 38.1 (Melbourne Code, 2012). |

The trait data shown here are a selection from AusTraits, an open-source, harmonised database of Australian plant trait data, sourced from individual researchers, government entities (e.g. herbaria) or NGOs across Australia. Traits vary in scope from morphological attributes (e.g. leaf area, seed mass, plant height) to ecological attributes (e.g. fire response, flowering time, pollinators) and physiological measures of performance (e.g. photosynthetic gas exchange, water-use efficiency.)
These traits are a sampler of those available in AusTraits. The data presented here are summary statistics derived from all field-collected data on adult plants available from AusTraits. Since the data presented are derived from the wide variety of sources in AusTraits, both the numeric trait statistics (min, mean, max) and categorical trait summaries (frequency of each trait value) that have been merged together could include data collected using different methods. The values presented for this species may reflect a summary of data from one or many sources, one or many samples from one or many adult plants at one or many locations. They may therefore differ from those presented elsewhere on the ALA platform and users are encouraged to download a spreadsheet of the full AusTraits data for this species via the download CSV button to view the accompanying details about the data sources before further use.
Categorical Traits
