Service Notice

The Western Australian Herbarium’s collections management system, WAHerb, and DBCA’s flora taxonomic names application, WACensus, have been set to read-only mode since 1 October 2025. Recent taxonomic changes are not currently being reflected in Florabase, herbarium collections, or the census. Due to the rapidly approaching holiday season and associated agency and facility soft closures, along with the substantial work involved in data mapping, cleaning, and verification, the migration to the new collection management software is not expected to occur before 1 March 2026, when a further update will be provided. Please reach out to us if you have any questions or concerns.

The notice period started at 9:45 am on Friday, 12 December 2025 +08:00 and will end at 12:00 pm on Monday, 2 March 2026 +08:00.

New combinations of Hibbertia (Dilleniaceae) segregated from H. hibbertioides and H. glomerata
HAMMER, T.A. AND THIELE, K.R.

Infraspecific taxa within the southwest Australian species Hibbertia glomerata Benth. and H. hibbertioides (Steud.) J.R.Wheeler are critically re-evaluated. Morphological evidence is presented to recognise H. glomerata subsp. wandoo J.R.Wheeler and H. hibbertioides var. meridionalis J.R.Wheeler at species rank, as H. wandoo (J.R.Wheeler) T.Hammer & K.R.Thiele and H. meridionalis (J.R.Wheeler) T.Hammer & K.R.Thiele respectively. Hibbertia hibbertioides var. pedunculata J.R.Wheeler is reduced to synonymy under H. hibbertioides. The remaining subspecies in H. glomerata are provisionally retained but are marginally distinct.
