Correa lawrenceana, also known as Mountain Correa, is a shrub or small tree which is endemic to Australia. It grows to between 0.6 and 9 metres in height, and has leaves with a shiny, dark-green upper surface which are 2.5 to 10.5 cm in length and about 1 to 7 cm wide. The flowers are produced during the spring and also sporadically throughout the year and are typically yellow-green although other colour forms are known.
Taxonomy
The species was first described in 1834 by William Jackson Hooker who gave it the name Correa lawrenciana.[1] The specific epithet honours Robert William Lawrence (1807-1833), a Tasmanian botanist.[2] Lawrence and Ronald Gunn collected the material sent to Hooker.[3] The name was standardised to Correa lawrenceana under the International Code of Botanical Nomenclature in 1998.
A subgenus of Correa (Correa subgenus Persistens Othman, Duretto and G.J. Jord.) was formally described in 2011 comprising two species, C. lawrenceana and C. baeuerlenii [4]
Eight varieties are currently recognised:
- C. lawrenceana var. cordifolia Paul G.Wilson, Pink Mountain-correa. Flowers are pink with yellow tips or, more rarely, entirely yellow.[5] The type specimen was collected from Mount Dromedary in New South Wales in 1953. The variety is listed as "Rare in Victoria" on the Department of Sustainability and Environment's Advisory List of Rare Or Threatened Plants In Victoria.[6]
- C. lawrenceana var. genoensis Paul G.Wilson (Genoa River Correa) This variety is listed as "threatened" in Victoria under the Flora and Fauna Guarantee Act 1988.[7]
- C. lawrenceana var. glandulifera Paul G.Wilson The type specimen was collected from Springbrook in Queensland in 1929.[1]
- C. lawrenceana var. grampiana Paul G.Wilson, Grampians Correa. The type specimen was collected in 1986 from Mount William in Victoria, where it is found growing among rocks.[8] It is listed as "Rare in Victoria" on the Department of Sustainability and Environment's Advisory List of Rare Or Threatened Plants In Victoria.[6]
- C. lawrenciana. var. latrobeana (F.Muell. ex Hannaford) Paul G.Wilson This was originally described as C. latrobeana, based on material collected near the Delatite River in Victoria in 1853.[1]
- C. lawrenceana Hook. var. lawrenceana. Plants in Tasmania are identified as this variety.[9] Those in the north-east of the state have narrow leaves, while those from the south and west have wider leaves with hairy undersides.[10]
- C. lawrenceana var. macrocalyx (Blakely) Paul G.Wilson This was originally described as Correa macrocalyx, based on material collected from Patonga on the Hawkesbury River in New South Wales in 1923.[1]
- C. lawrenceana var. rosea Paul G.Wilson, Red Mountain-correa, a sub-alpine variety with pale red flowers.[11] The type specimen was collected near the Geehi River on the Alpine Way in New South Wales in 1958. It is listed as "Rare in Victoria" on the Department of Sustainability and Environment's Advisory List of Rare Or Threatened Plants In Victoria.[5]
Distribution
The species is found in rainforest and sclerophyll forest in Tasmania, Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland.[12]
Cultivation
Correa lawrenceana is suited to a cool, moist, partly shaded position and is known to tolerate frost and snow. It can be used as a screening plant and will attract honeyeaters to the garden.[13] Plants are easily propagated from cuttings, wheras seed can be difficult.[2]
