The Western Australian Herbarium’s collections management system, WAHerb, and DBCA’s taxonomic names application, WACensus, have been set to read-only mode since 1 October 2025. Recent taxonomic changes are not reflected in Florabase, herbarium collections, or in the census. We are hoping to be able to reinstate services around December 15; we will provide an update at that time.
The notice period started at 9:00 am on Wednesday, 1 October 2025 +08:00 and will end at 12:00 pm on Monday, 15 December 2025 +08:00.
Newly described species of Acacia (Fabaceae), Acrotriche (Ericaceae) and Amanita (Basidiomycota) are among the research published today. Three infraspecific taxa in Lambertia orbifolia (Proteaceae) are also formalised (two of which are Threatened) and some useful research on George Maxwell’s collecting locality ‘Eyre’s Relief’ is presented.
