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.

Stylidium diplotrichum (Stylidiaceae): a new scale-leaved trigger plant from south-west Western Australia, with taxonomic and anatomical notes on allied species
WEGE, J.A.

A new scale-leaved trigger plant with conservation priority, Stylidium diplotrichum Wege, is described and illustrated. Revised taxonomic descriptions and notes are also provided for the priority species S. pseudohirsutum Mildbr. and S. expeditionis Carlquist, and the more commonly occurring S. hirsutum R.Br. and S. crossocephalum F.Muell. Leaf anatomy data are provided for all species. The location of the stomata is shown to be taxonomically informative.
