Acacia equisetifolia, a rare, new species of Acacia sect. Lycopodiifoliae (Fabaceae: Mimosoideae) from the Top End of the Northern Territory
MASLIN, B.R. AND COWIE, I.D., Nuytsia 24: 1–5 (2014)
Acacia equisetifolia Maslin & Cowie, a new species known only from Kakadu National Park, Northern Territory, is described. The new species, formerly known by the phrase name Acacia sp. Graveside Gorge (V.J. Levitzke 806), is very closely related to A. hippuroides Heward ex Benth. which occurs about 1,000 km to the south-west, in the western Kimberley region of Western Australia. The main morphological features separating these two species are the nature of branchlet and peduncle indumentum and various pod attributes.
An update to the taxonomy of some Western Australian genera of Myrtaceae tribe Chamelaucieae. 2. Cyathostemon
TRUDGEN, MALCOLM E. AND RYE, B.L., Nuytsia 24: 7–16 (2014)
Three new species of Cyathostemon Turcz. are described, illustrated and mapped, and a key is given to the seven named species in the genus. The new species are C. divaricatus Trudgen & Rye, C. gracilis Trudgen & Rye and C. verrucosus Trudgen & Rye. This has reduced the number of taxa known by informal names to seven, most of which belong to a difficult species complex that needs a great deal more work to resolve.
