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. The Herbarium team, working with the Biodiversity Information Office, now have the Nomos-hosted WACensus in production, and we will begin to update the flora and fungi for WA within the system soon. The Specify project team continues to test and streamline the new collections management system, and we expect this to be online in October. 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 Thursday, 1 October 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.
