Linum marginale, commonly known as native flax or wild flax,[1] is a species of flowering plant in the family Linaceae and is endemic to Australia. It is a perennial herb with few branches, linear leaves, and blue flowers with five usually blue petals with darker veins.
Description
Linum marginale is a glabrous, often glaucous, perennial herb that typically grows to a height of Template:Cvt and has a single stem or a few, branching at the base. The leaves are linear to narrow elliptic, Template:Cvt long and Template:Cvt wide with a single vein. The flowers are borne singly or in loose panicles on the ends of the stem, each flower on a pedicel Template:Cvt long. The sepals are egg-shaped, Template:Cvt long with thin edges, the petals are usually blue, rarely white, sometimes with darker veins, Template:Cvt long and the anthers are white. Flowering occurs in spring and summer and the fruit is a more or less spherical capsule Template:Cvt in diameter and containing brown seeds.[1][2][3]
Taxonomy
Linum marginale was first formally described in 1825 by Allan Cunningham in Barron Field's Geographical Memoirs on New South Wales.[4][5] The specific epithet (marginale) means "along the edge", referring to the sepals.[6]
Distribution and habitat
Native flax occurs in all Australian states, but not the Northern Territory. It is widespread in grassland, woodland and forest, sometimes on the edge of swamps and is found in most regions of New South Wales and Victoria, but only in the south-west of Western Australia and the south-east of South Australia.[1][2][3][7][8]
