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.

A new species of Urocarpus (Rutaceae) from Western Australia
WILSON, PAUL G.

A new species of Urocarpus Drumm. ex Harv. (Rutaceae) is described from near Bindoon, Western Australia. It differs from U. grandiflorus (Hook.) P. G. Wilson in having narrowly oblong leaves and smaller flowers which are white in colour. In carpel number it provides a link between Urocarpus s.str. and Asterolasia F. Muell., supporting the suggestion that the latter genus should not be maintained.
