Three new species separated from the eastern Australian Haemodorum planifolium (Haemodoraceae)
MACFARLANE, T.D. AND BARRETT, R.L.
The taxonomy of the eastern Australian species Haemodorum planifolium R.Br. is reviewed and it is divided into four species, three of them new. Haemodorum brevistylum T.Macfarlane & R.L.Barrett occurs mainly in the South Coast and Southern Tablelands regions, north to the Central Coast and Central Tablelands of New South Wales. Haemodorum collevatum T.Macfarlane & R.L.Barrett has a limited distribution in the Northern and Central Coast regions from Sydney to Newcastle. Haemodorum celsum R.L.Barrett & T.Macfarlane is a species of the Northern Tablelands region of New South Wales and the Granite Belt in the southern Darling Downs District of Queensland. Haemodorum planifolium is re-described and lectotypified. In the revised sense, H. planifolium occurs in the Central Coast and Central Tablelands regions of New South Wales (i.e. Wollongong to Gosford, inland to Newnes). All species are illustrated and mapped and a key to the Haemodorum species of New South Wales is provided.
