An account of Eutaxia (Leguminosae: Mirbelieae) with a focus on the Western Australian species
WILKINS, C.F., CHAPPILL, J.A. AND HENDERSON, G.R.
The Western Australian species of the endemic Australian legume genus Eutaxia R.Br. are revised. Twenty two species are recognised, all but three of them confined to Western Australia. Six new species are described, E. acanthoclada G.R.Hend. & Chappill, E. inuncta C.F. Wilkins & Chappill, E. exilis C.F.Wilkins & G.R.Hend., E. hirsuta C.F.Wilkins & G.R.Hend. Pultenaea neurocalyx Turcz. is transferred to Eutaxia, P. neurocalyx var. major Benth. is given specific status as E. major (Benth.) C.F.Wilkins & Chappill, and two new subspecies are recognised, E. neurocalyx subsp. nacta C.F.Wilkins and E. neurocalyx subsp. papillosa C.F.Wilkins. Eutaxia diffusa F.Muell. is reinstated as a distinct species rather than a variety of E. microphylla and E. empetrifolia Schltdl. and E. leptophylla Turcz. are reinstated as distinct species rather than being synonymous with E. microphylla (R.Br.) C.H.Wright & Dewar. Eutaxia densifolia Turcz. and E. dillwynioides Meisn. are reduced to synonyms of E. parvifolia Benth, and Eutaxia obovata (Labill.) C.A.Gardner is correct name for the type of Eutaxia.
