The '''blue pincushion''' (''Brunonia australis''), also known as '''Native Cornflower''', is a perennial [[herbaceous]] plant that grows widely across [[Australia]]. It is found in woodlands, open forest and sand plains. In the [[Cronquist system]]'s classification scheme it was the sole member of the monogenetic plant family [[Brunoniaceae]] before the [[APG II]] system moved it into [[Goodeniaceae]]. |

|||
The leaves are about 10 [[centimetre|cm]] long and grow from the base. Flowering is usually in spring, with hemispherical clusters of blue flowers developing on a stem about 50 cm in height. |

==Taxonomy== |
|||
Specimens of ''Brunonia'' were first collected by [[Robert Brown (botanist)|Robert Brown]] during the 1801–02 voyage of HMS ''Investigater'' under the command of [[Matthew Flinders]]. The genus had not been published by early 1810, when members of the [[Linnean Society of London]] sought to name a plant genus in Brown's honour. This genus was settled upon because it was so difficult to classify: "The genus under consideration is... exceedingly interesting, on account of its apparent relationship to several very different natural orders, and the great difficulty of referring it to any one in particular."<ref name="Smith 1811">{{cite journal | first = James Edward | last = Smith | year = 1811 | title = [[Wikisource:An Account of a new Genus of New Holland Plants named Brunonia|An Account of a new Genus of New Holland Plants named Brunonia]] | journal = Transactions of the Linnean Society of London | volume = X | pages = 365–370}}</ref> The name ''Brunonia'' was chosen because a genus had already been named ''Brownea'' in honour of [[Patrick Browne]], and ''Brunonia'' was seen as a compromise, "preserving as much resemblance to his name as possible, while I avoid all ambiguity with the Brownea previously established."<ref name="Smith 1811"/> |
|||
In February 1810, [[James Edward Smith]] read a formal description of ''Brunonia'' to the Linnean Society. Two species were given: ''Brunonia australis'' and ''Brunonia sericea''. Later that year, Brown made use of Smith's names in his ''[[Prodromus florae Novae Hollandiae]]''. However, Smith's speech did not go to print until 1811, so priority of publication of the genus belongs to Brown not Smith. Thus Brown unwittingly violated a virtual botanical taboo, by naming a genus after himself.<ref name="Mabberley">{{cite book | first = David | last = Mabberley | authorlink = David Mabberley | year = 1985 | title = Jupiter Botanicus: Robert Brown of the Britush Museum | publisher = Lubrecht and Cramer | isbn = 3768214087}}</ref> |
|||
''B. sericea'' was reduced to a variety of ''B. australis'' in 1907, and given synonymy with ''B. australis'' in 1992. A number of other species and variety have been published, but to date none have survived as current taxa except ''B. australis''. |
|||
== Cultivation == |
|||
This plant is easy to propagate from seed or by dividing existing plants. However, they can be difficult to establish and may die after a few years. They should be grown in well drained soils either in full sun or partial shade. |
