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.

The Lawrencella complex (Asteraceae : Gnaphalieae : Angianthinae) of Australia
WILSON, PAUL G.

The Lawrencella complex includes the monotypic genera Bellida and Schoenia, several species included by Bentham in Helichrysum sect. Lawrencella, and one species previously placed in both Helichrysum and Podolepis. It is considered to be a natural group clearly distinct from other members of the Angianthinae. Three genera are here recognised: Bellida, Lawrencella, and Schoenia. One subspecies is described as new; four new species combinations are made.
