Austrocallerya pilipes, synonym Callerya pilipes, is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae, endemic to Queensland, Australia.[1] It is a robust twining vine, climbing up trees and shrubs.[2] It is known as the northern wistaria.[3]
Description
[edit]Like the other species of Austrocallerya, A. pilipes is a robust, twining woody vine. It has evergreen leaves with 4–18 paired leaflets plus a terminal leaflet. Its flowers are arranged in a robust many-flowered terminal panicle. A. pilipes can be distinguished from the other species in the genus by its larger floral bracts, more than 8 mm (0.3 in) long and wide, as opposed to at most 2 mm (0.1 in) wide, which enclose the flower buds before the flower opens. Also, the surface of the seed pod lacks longitudinal ridges or grooves.[2]
Taxonomy
[edit]The species was first described by Frederick Manson Bailey in 1890 as Millettia pilipes.[4] It was placed in the genus Callerya as Callerya pilipes by Anne M. Schot in 1994. A 2019 molecular phylogenetic study found that it did not belong either in the genus Millettia or in the genus Callerya, and placed it in a newly established genus Austrocallerya within an expanded tribe Wisterieae.[2]
Distribution and habitat
[edit]Austrocallerya pilipes is endemic to Queensland,[1] where it occurs in rainforest, climbing up trees and over scrub at elevations from 300 to 1,200 m (1,000 to 3,900 ft).[2]
