'''''Acidonia microcarpa''''' is a species of shrub in the plant family [[Proteaceae]], and is the only species in the genus '''''Acidonia'''''. It is endemic to the south coast of the [[Southwest Botanic Province]] of [[Western Australia]].<br />
<br />
==Description==<br />
This is a smooth-barked shrub reaching up to {{cvt|3|m}} in height. Small branches are hairy and ribbed, the leaves are long and narrow, measuring up to {{cvt|13|cm}} long and just {{cvt|1.8|mm|2}} wide. The flowers are bright yellow and about {{cvt|10|mm|2}} long.{{R|FLORABASEb|FOA}}<br />
<br />
==Taxonomy==<br />
It was originally published by [[Robert Brown (botanist, born 1773)|Robert Brown]] in 1810 as a species of ''[[Persoonia]]''. In 1975, [[Lawrence Alexander Sidney Johnson]] and [[Barbara G. Briggs]] erected the genus ''Acidonia'', transferring a great many ''Persoonia'' species into it.{{R|JOHNSON}} Later, the circumscription of ''Acidonia'' was changed to include only ''A.&nbsp;microcarpa''.{{R|WESTON}}<br />
<br />
However, phylogenetic studies indicate that ''Acidonia'' is nested in the larger genus ''[[Persoonia]]'', where it was once included.{{R|HOLMES}}<br />
<br />
==Distribution and habitat==<br />
''Acidonia microcarpa'' occurs the in the far southwestern corner of Western Australia, from [[Margaret River]] to [[Albany, Western Australia|Albany]] and within {{cvt|50|km}} of the coast. It grows on sandy soils on the margins of water bodies and swamps.{{R|FLORABASEb|FOA}}<br />
