11.01.2022 If you spot red color in Periwinkle bush, mostly likely it is a one-sided bottlebrush or Calothamnus quadrifidus. The genus name Calothamnus means beautiful shrub in Greek (kalos thamnos), and the species name quadrifidus refers to the fact that the flower is divided into four parts, as you can see most clearly in the small buds, before they open. The species was named by Robert Brown, a botanist who travelled with Matthew Flinders on HMS Investigator. He collected a specimen of the plant, plus several other Calothamnus species, at Lucky Bay near Esperance on the south coast of WA, in 1802.
