Allocasuarina eriochlamys

Allocasuarina eriochlamys is a dense, erect, monoecious or dioecious shrub that typically grows to a height of 1–3 m (3 ft 3 in – 9 ft 10 in). Its branchlets are more or less erect, up to 230 mm (9.1 in) long, the leaves reduced to scale-like teeth usually 0.3–1 mm (0.012–0.039 in) long, arranged in whorls of eight to ten around the branchlets. The sections of branchlet between the leaf whorls (the "articles") are mostly 5–18 mm (0.20–0.71 in) long and 0.5–1.1 mm (0.020–0.043 in) wide. Male flowers are arranged in spikes 10–35 mm (0.39–1.38 in) long, in whorls of 7 to 11 per centimetre (per 0.39 in.), the anthers 0.6–0.8 mm (0.024–0.031 in) long. Female cones are cylindrical on a peduncle 4–15 mm (0.16–0.59 in) long, and mature cones are 20–45 mm (0.79–1.77 in) long and 13–21 mm (0.51–0.83 in) in diameter containing black samaras 5.0–10.5 mm (0.20–0.41 in) long.

Subspecies eriochlamys grows in mallee woodland on stony slopes between Comet Vale and Kalgoorlie in the Coolgardie and Murchison bioregions and subsp. grossa grows around granite outcrops, mainly near Norseman in the Coolgardie and Nullarbor bioregions of Western Australia.
