A taxonomic revision of the genus Byblis (Byblidaceae) in northern Australia
LOWRIE, A. AND CONRAN, J.G.

The northern Australian species of Byblis (Byblidaceae) are revised and illustrated. Two new species, Byblis aquatica Lowrie & Conran and B. rorida Lowrie & Conran are named. Byblis liniflora subsp. occidentalis Conran & Lowrie is reduced to a synonym of B. filifolia Planch., which is reinstated as a distinct species. Lectotypifications are provided for B. filifolia and B. liniflora Salisb. A key, table and distribution maps for the four Byblis taxa in northern Australia are also presented.
