Nematolepis squamea (Nematolepis squamea)
Description
Nematolepis squamea , commonly known as Satinwood, is an upright shrub or small tree species which is endemic to Australia. The species was first formally described in 1805 and named Eriostemon squamea. It was transferred to the genus Phebalium in 1896 and subsequently to Nematolepis by Paul G. Wilson in 1998. The name is derived from the Greek words nematos 'thread', lepsis 'scale' and the Latin word squameus 'scaly' referring to the scales on the leaves, stems and stamens. Three subspecies are currently recognised: - N. squamea subsp. coriacea (Paul G.Wilson) Paul G.Wilson - N. squamea subsp. retusa (Hook.) Paul G.Wilson - N. squamea (Labill.) Paul G. Wilson subsp. squamea
