VU Indigenous Endemic
Morphological description

An erect to semi-erect rounded shrub, to 1.5 m in height, with a single stout main stem; lower branches often spreading along the ground. Flowering stems erect, terete, villous. Leaves loosely ascending-imbricate; linear to oblong-linear, 4.0-6.0 cm long, 6.0-8.0 mm broad; covered with a short, dense canescent indumentum of short crisped hairs; apex entire or up to 3 toothed. Inflorescences globose to depressed globose, 3.0-3.5 cm in diam., sessile to subsessile; occasionally solitary, usually with two to six inflorescences clustered in the axils of the uppermost leaves of the flowering stem. Involucral receptacle broadly conical to conical-depressed, acute, 1.4 cm long, 1.0 cm wide. Involucral bracts glabrous to glabrescent, ovate-acuminate, the acuminate apex patent to subsquarrose; paleaceous to papyraceous in texture, margins occasionally ciliate and the apex shortly crinite. Bracts 1.0 cm long, 0.5 cm wide. Bracteoles lanceolate-acuminate, 1.0 cm long, 0.3 cm wide, lanate proximally on outer surface, glabrous distally, apex crinite. Perianth straight at anthesis 1.5-2.0 cm long, yellow. Perianth tube glabrous, cylindric, slightly compressed laterally 4.0 mm long. Perianth claws 0.9-1.2 cm long, the median posticous claw glabrous, the anticous claw and margins of the two lateral posticous claws pubescent. Perianth limbs narrowly-lanceolate, 4.0 mm long; the posticous limb glabrous the three anticous limbs sparsely sericeous. Style straight 1.5-2.0 cm long. Hypogynous scales 1.5 mm long, hyaline, subulate. From: Rourke, JP. 1972. Taxonomic studies on Leucospermum R.Br. J. S. African Bot.: 1-194. [CC BY]

Diagnostic description

Among the species of the section Leucospermum with linear-oblong leaves and an erect growth habit, L. parile is distinguished by its slightly patent to subsquarrose paleaceous to papyraceous involucral bracts, reddish brown in colour and glabrous to glabrescent on the outer surface. From: Rourke, JP. 1972. Taxonomic studies on Leucospermum R.Br. J. S. African Bot.: 1-194. [CC BY]

Habitat

This species grows on sandy flats in the Malmesbury 'sandveld' at elevations of 30-152 m, in an area receiving a winter rainfall of 15-20' p.a. It grows exclusively on white, fairly fine grained sandy soils which are almost completely devoid of organic matter. This soil type is Tertiary to Recent in age and supports a typical 'sandveld' vegetation cover consisting mainly of low, tufted Restiona-ceae, Passerina spp., Serruria spp., Cryptadenia spp. and various Ericaceae. At Katzenberg and Burgher's Post, large dense colonies of L. parile still survive but at most other places the populations have been destroyed by agricultural development and the species only survives on uncultivated road verges. The rich yellow, highly perfumed inflorescences are produced between July and November. From: Rourke, JP. 1972. Taxonomic studies on Leucospermum R.Br. J. S. African Bot.: 1-194. [CC BY]

Distribution

L. parile is endemic to the Malmesbury district where it occurs within a relatively small area bounded by Mamre Road station (Klipfontein farm) and Abbotsdale in the north, Kalabaskraal in the south and Dassenberg in the west.
