HISLOP, M.

The taxonomy of the small, infrageneric Styphelia blepharolepis group is updated with the addition of two new species, S. cranfieldii Hislop and S. semitrullata Hislop & E.A.Br., and descriptions for the three long-established taxa, S. blepharolepis F.Muell., S. densifolia Hislop, Crayn & Puente-Lel. (until recently, Leucopogon flavescens var. brevifolius Benth.) and S. flavescens (Sond.) F.Muell. A new subspecies, subsp. stirlingensis Hislop, is recognised for S. flavescens. A morphological synopsis of the group is provided along with a key to species.
