Persoonia pauciflora
Persoonia pauciflora, commonly known as the North Rothbury persoonia, is a species of flowering plant in the family Proteaceae and is endemic to a small area of New South Wales. It is a small, spreading shrub with bright green, thread-like leaves and a relatively small number of yellow flowers in summer. A recently described species, it is similar to P. isophylla but has fewer and shorter flowers than that species. A very restricted distribution has led to its classification as "critically endangered" under the Australian Government Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999.
The North Rothbury persoonia grows on clay soils in dry sclerophyll forest or woodland, under broad-leaved red ironbark (Eucalyptus fibrosa), grey box (E. moluccana), grey gum (E. punctata), and spotted gum (Corymbia maculata), with an understorey of shrubs and grasses. It only occurs in the North Rothbury area and occupies an area of only 2.5 km2 (600 acres) and linear range of 4.3 km (2.7 mi). All specimens have been found within 2.5 km (1.6 mi) of the original collection.
