Stylidium luteum R.Br. subsp. clavatum Carlquist is raised to species level, S. squamellosum DC. and S. striatum Lindl. are redefined, S. rigidifolium Mildbr. is placed into synonymy under S. striatum, and S. zeicolor F.L.Erickson & J.H.Willis is reinstated. With the exception of S. zeicolor and S. diademum, all of these species have a conservation listing.
