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 revision of Thryptomene section Thryptomene (Myrtaceae)
RYE, B.L. AND TRUDGEN, MALCOLM E.

A revision of Thryptomene Endl. sect. Thryptomene is presented covering the nine species now included, with distribution maps and a key for all species and illustrations of selected taxa. Five new species and a new subspecies are described. These are Thryptomene australis subsp. brachyandra Rye & Trudgen, T. costata Rye & Trudgen, T. eremaea Rye & Trudgen, T. duplicata Rye & Trudgen, T. salina Rye & Trudgen and T. striata Rye & Trudgen. Thryptomene johnsonii F. Muell. is reinstated, T. prolifera Turcz. is reduced to a synonym of T. mucronulata Turcz., and a lectotype is selected for T. dielsiana E. Pritz., which is another synonym of T. mucronulata.
