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.

Four new species of Eucalyptus (Myrtaceae) from Western Australia
GRAYLING, P.M. AND BROOKER, M.I.H.

Four new species from the informal Eucalyptus subgenus Symphyomyrtus Pryor & Johnson are described and illustrated. E. absita is a member of the E. series Porantheroideae (Maiden) Chippendale; E. balanites has similarities to E. decipiens Endl. in the E. series Micrantherae Benth. sensu Chippendale (1988); E. annuliformis is closely related to E. drummondii Benth. in the E. series Curviptera Maiden; and E. argutifolia is a member of the E. series Rufispermae Maiden. All four species are known only from small populations in coastal and sub-coastal south-western Australia.
