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.

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.
