An updated diagnosis for Eucalyptus series Accedentes (Myrtaceae) and a new mallee species for the series occurring in far western Australia
NICOLLE, D. AND BROOKER, M.I.H.
Eucalyptus L'Hér. ser. Accedentes Chippend. is diagnosed by an exclusive combination of characters for the first time. The series consists of nine species, all but one of which are endemic to Western Australia, including the newly described Eucalyptus baiophylla D.Nicolle & Brooker, a mallee occurring between Exmouth and Carnarvon on the west coast of Australia. The new species was formerly included in E. prominens Brooker and is most closely related to E. zopherophloia Brooker & Hopper. A key to the series is included and a map and illustrations of the new species are provided.
