Conostylis is a genus of perennial herbs in the Haemodoraceae family, commonly known as cone flowers. All species are endemic to the south west of Western Australia . Description
The petal tube and lobes are hairy on the outside, the petal lobes are glabrous on the inside, and the inside of the tube is filled with woolly hairs. The 4 stamens are fully enclosed in the petal tube. Flowering time depends on subspecies. The fruits are dry, oval to cone-shaped, 2.5–4 mm (0.1–0.2 in) long and have a hairy, papery covering.
Rudbeckia (/ r ʌ d ˈ b ɛ k i ə /) [4] is a plant genus in the Asteraceae or composite family. [5] [6] Rudbeckia flowers feature a prominent, raised central disc in black, brown shades of green, and in-between tones, giving rise to their familiar common names of coneflowers and black-eyed-susans.
There are 5 grey-green, hairy sepals which are egg-shaped to lance-shaped with a tapering end and 2.5–5.5 mm (0.1–0.2 in) long. The petals are 16–26 mm (0.6–1 in) long and are joined at their lower end to form a tube. The petal tube is purple to lilac-coloured, sometimes white and is spotted with dark purple inside the tube.
The 4 stamens are fully enclosed in the petal tube. Flowering occurs from June to September and the fruit which follow are dry, oval to cone-shaped, ribbed, 5.5–7 mm (0.2–0.3 in) long and have a papery covering.

The petal tube and lobes are mostly glabrous except that the inside of the tube is filled with long, soft hairs. The 4 stamens are fully enclosed in the petal tube. Flowering occurs from May to December and the fruits which follow are cone-shaped with a pointed end, glabrous and 7.5–9.5 mm (0.3–0.4 in) long. [2] [3]
The outside of the tube and the petal lobes are almost glabrous but the inside of the tube is filled with woolly hairs. The petal lobes are rounded but have a small point in their centres. The 4 stamens are fully enclosed within the tube. The fruits are oval to cone-shaped, 7–9.5 mm (0.3–0.4 in) long and are woody with a papery covering. [2]
Like all members of the sunflower family, the flowering structure is a composite inflorescence, with rose-colored (rarely yellow or white) florets arranged in a prominent, somewhat cone-shaped head – "cone-shaped" because the petals of the outer ray florets tend to point downward (are reflexed) once the flower head opens, thus forming a cone ...
