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. The Herbarium team, working with the Biodiversity Information Office, now have the Nomos-hosted WACensus in production, and we will begin to update the flora and fungi for WA within the system soon. The Specify project team continues to test and streamline the new collections management system, and we expect this to be online in October. 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 Thursday, 1 October 2026 +08:00.

A first report of Leptochloa panicea subsp. brachiata (Poaceae) from Western Australia
SNOW, NEIL

The genus Leptochloa P. Beauv. (Poaceae) is represented by nine species in Australia (Sharp and Simon 2002). Three of these include subspecies, bringing the total number of taxa in Australia to fourteen. I report here the first confirmed occurrence in Western Australia of Leptochloa panicea (Retz.) Ohwi subsp. brachiata (Steud.) N. Snow, a non-native taxon of neotropical origin.
