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.

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)

Details PDF
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.
