Distribution and habitat : Anisomeles 
carpentarica is distributed from Karumba in 
Queensland to Elcho Island in the Northern 
Territory (Map 5). It mainly occurs in 
littoral areas on old beach dunes, but it does 
occasionally grow further inland on sandy 
substrate. 
Phenology : Flowers are recorded from 
February to November; fruits are recorded 
from April to November. 
Notes : Anisomeles carpentarica is close to A. 
moschata, but differs by the narrower leaves 
(L/B ratio 27-4.1 times, compared to 2.1-2.8 
times for A. moschata ), the longer bracteoles, 
the calyx fringe hairs of uniform length 
throughout, 0.15-0.35 mm long (longer 
towards the sinus in A. moschata, ; 0.5-1 mm 
long), and the numerous (20-100) trichomes 
on the platform of the corolla (glabrous or < 
20 hairs for A. moschata). 
Conservation status : Least Concern. 
Etymology : The epithet refers to the 
distribution of this species which pre¬ 
dominantly fringes the Gulf of Carpentaria.
