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.

WHEELER, J.R.

The group of species that includes Hibbertia hemignosta (Steud.) J.R. Wheeler is reviewed and a key provided. The new species Hibbertia acrotrichion J.R. Wheeler and Hibbertia chartacea are described. Two new varieties of Hibbertia hibbertioides (Steud.) J.R. Wheeler, var. meridionalis and var. pedunculata, and two new varieties of Hibbertia pulchra Ostenf., var. acutibractea and var. crassinervia, are also described. All taxa are mapped and illustrated. Both new species have conservation priority, but the four new varieties are not considered endangered.
