Research papers on Styphelia, Amanita and several genera in Orchidaceae and Myrtaceae subtribe Hysterobaeckeinae were published in Nuytsia today. They include the formal description of 19 new taxa, among them a new species endemic to the Northern Territory.
Please be aware that the newly named taxa will only appear on Florabase once an essential upgrade to the Herbarium’s collection database is complete, which is taking longer than expected. We appreciate your patience.
This year’s cover features the whimsically named Crab Claws (Stylidium macranthum Carlquist), a Triggerplant with a distribution centred on the Esperance Plains in south-western Australia. Photograph from Cape Le Grand National Park by Juliet Wege.
