Ptilotus clementii
Ptilotus clementii, commonly known as tassel top, is a native Australian annual herb growing to between 0.3 and 1 metre high.[1] Nodding, green flower spikes are produced between March and November in the species' native range.[1] The species occurs in Triodia grassland or low open woodland on stony hills from Cape Range in Western Australia and eastward across the Northern Territory to north-west Queensland where it is restricted to the Mount Isa - Cloncurry area.[2] The species was first formally described in 1905 by L. Farmar in Bulletin de l'Herbier Boissieras. He gave it the name Trichinium clementii, basing his description on a collection made by Emile Clement between the Ashburton and De Grey Rivers in 1897. The species was transferred to the genus Ptilotus in 1958.[3] References
