Two new and rare species of Ptilotus (Amaranthaceae) from the Eneabba sandplains, Western Australia
DAVIS, R.W., HAMMER, T.A. AND THIELE, K.R.
Ptilotus clivicolus R.W.Davis & T.Hammer and P. falcatus R.W.Davis & T.Hammer, are described as new. The two species are very closely related to each other and are relatively distantly related to other Ptilotus R.Br. taxa. They have identical ITS and matK molecular sequences, but are morphologically distinctive. Both species are rare and endemic to sandplains near Eneabba in south-west Western Australia.
