Description
Conostylis bracteata is a perennial tufted or multi-stemmed plant forming clumps 30 cm (12 in) wide and up to 60 cm (24 in) high. The leaves are flat, arranged in flattened, broadly fan-shaped clusters, up to 170–400 mm (6.7–15.7 in) long and 4–7 mm (0.16–0.28 in) wide with dense, flexible, feather-like hairs on the edges. The flower stem is 320–500 mm (13–20 in) long, each flower on a pedicel 1.0–1.5 mm (0.039–0.059 in) long. The flowers are 10–15 mm (0.39–0.59 in) long and the perianth is golden yellow on the inside, with six more or less equal tepals. There are six stamens and the style is 6–10 mm (0.24–0.39 in) long. This species is similar to Conostylis aculeata subsp. cygnorum. Flowering occurs from August to September.

Why this record matters
A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Conostylis bracteata”, the useful work is to connect “species of plant” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.
Stable identifiers, scientific names and standards terminology offer the best bridge between this overview and specialist evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Dec 1, 2024. The linked authority identifier is Q15333697. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference.
Current terminology should not be projected backward without checking the classification used when the underlying evidence was created. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
How to read it
Check terminology, classification and the date of the cited evidence. Scientific names and technical consensus can change while older records retain historical value.
