Verticordia: The Turner of Hearts

"Hew Roberts" Nedlands Lecture Theatre, Clifton St., Nedlands

Greg Keighery will be speaking at the Main Club General Meeting on our fascinating Verticordias. Verticordia contains some of the most colourful and iconic species of the Kwongan. The mass flowering of the “cauliflower” members of the genus east of Hyden is a sight that is world class. Defined by finely divided calyx lobes, the genus is closely related to another Australian genus, Darwinia. It has long been considered that the divided calyx lobes which aid dispersal are not a valid character to define the genus and subsquent genetic work supports the subdivision of the genus.
