Nuytsia is a refereed journal that publishes original papers on systematic botany with preference given to papers relating to the flora of Western Australia. 2026-03-06T00:00:00+08:00 Laminas_Feed_Writer https://florabase.dbca.wa.gov.au/nuytsia/ Nuytsia Editorial Committee nuytsia@dbca.wa.gov.au https://florabase.dbca.wa.gov.au/nuytsia/ Copyright 2007– Western Australian Herbarium, Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions

Styphelia blepharolepis group is updated with the addition of two new species, S. cranfieldii Hislop and S. semitrullata Hislop & E.A.Br., and descriptions for the three long-established taxa, S. blepharolepis F.Muell., S. densifolia Hislop, Crayn & Puente-Lel. (until recently, Leucopogon flavescens var. brevifolius Benth.) and S. flavescens (Sond.) F.Muell. A new subspecies, subsp. stirlingensis Hislop, is recognised for S. flavescens. A morphological synopsis of the group is provided along with a key to species. Nuytsia 37 1–16]]>

Amanita xanthocephala (Berk.) D.A.Reid & R.N.Hilton we designate the specimen PERTH 08944555 from Kings Park as an informal reference specimen to complement the holotype K(M)236388, collected by Drummond from the Swan River Colony in 1843, and provide a description based on Western Australian collections. Sequences from the nuclear ribosomal transcribed spacer (ITS) region from the reference specimen and collections from Victoria and Western Australia cluster together in a well-supported clade. Amanita xanthocephala throughout southern Australia appears to be a single species. Amanita xanthocephala f. mcalpineana (Cleland & Cheel) D.A.Reid has a yellow pileus, however an ITS sequence published on the Atlas of Living Australia does not differ from those with an orange or reddish orange pileus, suggesting it is a common and variable species. Amanita xanthocephala f. mcalpineana is synonymised with A. xanthocephala. Nuytsia 37 17–32]]>

Cyanicula micrantha G.Brockman & C.J.French, Paracaleana petraea G.Brockman, Paracaleana semota G.Brockman, Pterostylis inflata G.Brockman & C.J.French and Thelymitra congesta G.Brockman & C.J.French are formally named and described with photographs provided to aid identification. All have been assessed as warranting conservation-listing, with the exception of P. inflata. Nuytsia 37 33–44]]>

Flora of Australia. The anther morphology of these genera is described, and the distinguishing characteristics of their diaspores are discussed and illustrated. Six poorly known, geographically restricted new species are described for the genera Anticoryne Turcz., Babingtonia Lindl., Scholtzia Schauer and Tetrapora Schauer as A. pallinup Rye, A. vallicola Rye, B. latifolia Rye, S. hortiorum Rye, S. nolba Rye and T. ostentata Rye, and one better known, but still geographically restricted, species is named S. viatica Rye. In Hysterobaeckea (Nied.) Rye, a species that had previously been included under Malleostemon J.W.Green with the phrase name M. sp. Officer Basin (D. Pearson 350) is described as H. uniloculata Rye, expanding the definition of Hysterobaeckea to include a 1-locular ovary, and a second new species is named H. lubrica Rye. One new species of Malleostemon is named as M. sparsus Rye now that additional material is available for it, although it may prove to be a hybrid. Scholtzia umbellifera F.Muell. and S. sp. Folly Hill (M.E. Trudgen 12097) are reduced to synonymy under S. obovata (DC.) Schauer, and the subspecies of S. brevistylis Rye are abandoned. Two phrase-named taxa under Baeckea L. are transferred to the appropriate genera to become Babingtonia sp. Dandaragan (G. Paczkowska s.n. PERTH 08245606) and Tetrapora sp. Youndegin Hill (A.S. George 15772). The new combination Tetrapora leptophylla (Turcz.) Rye is made based on Harmogia leptophylla Turcz., with lectotypifications for both this name and its synonym Baeckea floribunda Benth. Lectotypes are also nominated for Babingtonia camphorosmae (Endl.) Lindl., Scholtzia eatoniana (Ewart & Jean White) C.A.Gardner, S. involucrata (Endl.) Druce and S. laxiflora Benth. New or updated species keys and new descriptions of previously named species or genera are included where appropriate. The ten newly named species occur in the southern half of Western Australia and nine of them have conservation priority, including one that is presumed to be extinct. Nuytsia 37 51–84]]>
