Adenanthos × pamelus

Adenanthos × pamela is a naturally occurring hybrid of A. detmoldii and A. obovatus in Western Australia.

A bushy shrub intermediate between its parents in habit, leaf shape and flower colour, it is known only from road verges in the Scott River area, where its parent species co-occur. Despite its hybrid origin, it is fertile.

§1

Description

Morphologically, A. × pamela is intermediate between its two parent species. It grows as a bushy shrub about 1.5 m (5 ft) in height, roughly twice the height of the compact A. obovata, but shorter than the tall, lanky A. detmoldii. Leaf shape is also intermediate between the short obovate leaves of A. obovata, and the longer lanceolate leaves of A. detmoldii; and flowers are orange or light red, again intermediate between the yellow to orange of A. detmoldii and the scarlet of A obovata. Like A. obovata, A. × pamela possesses a lignotuber.

§2

Range & habitat

Adenanthos × pamela is restricted to the Scott River areas, where the parent species co-occur, and has only been found growing with both parents. It is known only from about twenty scattered individuals growing on road verges, particularly Governor Broome Road, east of Scott River National Park.
