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.

Hibbertia striata, a new combination for a long-overlooked Western Australian species, and inclusion of H. pachyrrhiza in H. huegelii
THIELE, K.R.

The common and widespread species Hibbertia huegelii (Endl.) F.Muell. comprises two distinct taxa, one of which matches the type of Candollea striata Steud., which is here recombined as Hibbertia striata (Steud.) K.R.Thiele. Hibbertia pachyrrhiza Steud. is reduced to a synonym of H. huegelii s. str. Descriptions and distribution maps are provided for both accepted species.
