A taxonomic review of the Stylidium caricifolium complex (Stylidiaceae), from south-west Western Australia
LOWRIE, A., COATES, D.J. AND KENNEALLY, K.F.

A taxonomic review of the Stylidium caricifolium Lindl. complex (Stylidiaceae) is presented. Six species are recognized, including the new taxa, S. maritimum, S. sejunctum and S.wilroyense Lowrie, Coates & Kenneally. Additionally, S. affine Sond. and S. nungarinense S. Moore are restored to species rank. Recognition of these species is supported by chromosome, allozyme, ecological, geographical and morphological evidence. All six taxa are endemic to south-west Western Australia.
