Verticordia sect. Corynatoca

Verticordia" sect. "Corynatoca is one of six sections in the subgenus "Eperephes". It includes the single species "Verticordia ovalifolia". Plants in this section are sometimes bushy shrubs, sometimes tall and open. The flower cup has very short appendages and the staminodes have raised glands on their surface.
When Alex George reviewed the genus in 1991 he described the section and gave it the name "Corynatoca". The name "Corynatoca" is from the Greek "koryne" (a club) and "atakos" (barren), referring to the unusual staminodes.
The type and only species in this section is "Verticordia ovalifolia".
