Conospermum triplinervium
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Conospermum triplinervium faces significant pressure from urban development and infrastructure expansion across its limited range in southwestern Western Australia. The species is particularly vulnerable to habitat fragmentation due to its restricted distribution and specialized soil requirements. Fire regime alterations, including both increased fire frequency and fire suppression, threaten the natural regeneration cycles this proteaceous shrub depends upon for recruitment.
Habitat
This endemic Western Australian shrub occurs in sandy soils within kwongan heathland and low woodland communities of the Swan Coastal Plain. It typically grows in areas with well-drained sandy substrates and is associated with other proteaceous species in fire-prone Mediterranean climate ecosystems.
