Adenanthos filifolius (Adenanthos filifolius)

Description

Alex George described Adenanthos ellipticus in 1974, the species name derived from the Latin adjective ellipticus and referring to the shape of the leaves. It had been collected much earlier, in 1931 by W.E.Blackall. He published the name A. cuneata var. integra in 1954 but did not write a description so the name is invalid. It is classified in the section Adenanthos within the genus of the same name.
