A taxonomic update of Conostephium (Ericaceae: Styphelioideae: Styphelieae)
HISLOP, M., Nuytsia 23: 313–335 (2013)
Four new species from the Western Australian endemic genus Conostephium Benth., C. hortiorum Hislop, C. laeve Hislop, C. papillosum Hislop and C. prolatum Hislop are described, illustrated and their distributions mapped. Among these, C. prolatum has a very restricted distribution and is a conservation priority. A key to the 11 recognised species is provided as well as one to distinguish between the two putative generic taxa in the Conostephium clade. Lectotypes are designated for C. pendulum Benth., C. preissii Sond. and for the genus Conostephiopsis Stschegl. Taxonomic notes pertaining to C. drummondii (Stschegl.) C.A.Gardner, C. pendulum, C. preissii and C. roei Benth. are also included.
