Bargo geebung

Description

Persoonia bargoensis, commonly known as the Bargo geebung, is a shrub native to New South Wales in eastern Australia. It is currently classified under Commonwealth legislation as vulnerable, and is listed in New South Wales legislation as threatened.Lawrie Johnson and Peter Weston of the New South Wales Herbarium described the Bargo geebung as Persoonia bargoensis in 1991, having previously considered it an intermediate form between Persoonia nutans, which is found 40 km (25 mi) to the north, and P. oxycoccoides, which is found 25 km (16 mi) to the south. However further study found no evidence of intermediate forms between it and the other two species.
