Calothamnus (Myrtaceae): precursor paper to Flora of Australia
GEORGE, A.S.
The following new taxa are described: Calothamnus arcuatus A.S George, C. borealis subsp. cinereus A.S.George, C. cupularis A.S. George, C. montanus A.S.George, C. phellosus A. S.George (the species previously known as C.oldfieldii), C. roseus A.S.George and C. scabridus A.S.George. Calothamnus blepharospermus var. glaber Benth. is raised to specific rank. The name Calothamnus lateralis f. crassus Benth. (C. crassus (Benth.) Hawkeswood) is shown to have been misapplied by Hawkeswood and is given varietal rank under C. lateralis. Calothamnus blepharantherus (a synonym of C. sanguineus Labill.), C. blepharospermus F. Muell. and C. chrysanthereus F.Muell. are lectotypified. Calothamnus oldfieldii F.Muell. is also lectotypified and the name correctly applied, with C. kalbarriensis Hawkeswood reduced to synonymy.
