A new species of Eucalyptus from the margins of salt lakes in Western Australia
CARR, S.G.M AND CARR, D.J., Nuytsia 3 (2): 173–178 (1980)
A new species (Eucalyptus halophila) is described. It is included in the informal series "Bisectae" but appears to have no close affinity with any other species. It is characterized by persistent spiral phyllotaxis and stomata with anterior chambers occluded by cutinised polar wall ingrowths.
A new species and a new combination in Darwinia (Myrtaceae) from Western Australia
MARCHANT, N.G. AND KEIGHERY, G.J., Nuytsia 3 (2): 179–182 (1980)
Darwinia wittwerorum sp. novo is described and illustrated and a new combination, Darwinia oxylepis (Turcz.) comb. novo is made. Both species occur in the Stirling Range National Park, south western Australia.
Thryptomene and Micromyrtus (Myrtaceae) in Central Australia - new species and notes
GREEN, J.W., Nuytsia 3 (2): 183–209 (1980)
Seven species of Thryptomene and eight of Micromyrtus from arid and semi-arid regions of inland Australia are described and illustrated. Notes on the species and maps of their distribution are given and keys to their identity provided. Six are described as new (T. naviculata, T. wittweri, T. nealensis, M. barbata, M. fimbrisepala and M. serrulata) and new combinations (M. helmsii and M. stenocalyx) are made for two others.
A new species of Urocarpus (Rutaceae) from Western Australia
WILSON, PAUL G., Nuytsia 3 (2): 211–213 (1980)
A new species of Urocarpus Drumm. ex Harv. (Rutaceae) is described from near Bindoon, Western Australia. It differs from U. grandiflorus (Hook.) P. G. Wilson in having narrowly oblong leaves and smaller flowers which are white in colour. In carpel number it provides a link between Urocarpus s.str. and Asterolasia F. Muell., supporting the suggestion that the latter genus should not be maintained.
Reinstatement of the genus Kippistia F. Muell. (Asteraceae, Astereae)
LANDER, N.S. AND BARRY, RHONDA, Nuytsia 3 (2): 215–220 (1980)
The Australian monotypic genus Kippistia F. Muell., previously included under Minuria DC., is reinstated. Distinguishing features are presented and the single species, K. suaedifolia, is redescribed; nomenclatural notes and a distribution map are provided.
A review of the genus Minuria DC. (Asteraceae, Astereae)
LANDER, N.S. AND BARRY, RHONDA, Nuytsia 3 (2): 221–237 (1980)
Three new species in the Australian genus Minuria are described: M. chippendalei from the Northern Botanical Province of Western Australia and the Darwin and Gulf District of the Northern Territory; M. gardneri from the Eremaean and South West Botanical Provinces of Western Australia and the North Western Botanical Region of South Australia; M. macrocephala from the Eremaean Botanical Province of Western Australia. A key to all nine species of Minuria, nomenclatural notes, descriptions and distribution maps are provided.
A new species of Conostylis R.Br. (Haemodoraceae) from the Fitzgerald River area, Western Australia
GREEN, J.W., Nuytsia 4 (1): 55–59 (1982)
Conostylis deplexa J. W. Green, belonging to section Catospora Benth., is described. It is distinguished from all other species in the genus by having marginal setae embracing the otherwise glabrous leaf blades.
Taxonomy of Micromyrtus ciliata (Myrtaceae) and allied species including three new species of Micromyrtus from eastern Australia and lectotypification of M. minutiflora
GREEN, J.W., Nuytsia 4 (3): 317–331 (1983)
Micromyrtus ciliata is redefined in consequence of the segregation from it of two new species, M. sessilis and M. striata. A third new species, M. blakelyi, belonging to the same group, is also described. All four species are mapped and illustrated. Micromyrtus minutiflora, based on mixed material, is lectotypified.
The genus Ondinea (Nymphaeaceae) including a new subspecies from the Kimberley region, Western Australia
KENNEALLY, K.F. AND SCHNEIDER, EDWARD L., Nuytsia 4 (3): 359–365 (1983)
A new subspecies, Ondinea purpurea Hartog subsp. petaloidea is described and illustrated. The occurrence of previously unreported petaloid flowers in the genus and the discovery of seedlings necessitates expanding the species description. The gradation from sepals to petals to petaloid stamens to conventional stamens provides additional morphological data to support the placement of Ondinea in the Nymphaeaceae sensu stricto.
A morphometric and anatomical study of the Darwinia diosmoides complex (Myrtaceae) in south-western Australia
RYE, B.L., Nuytsia 4 (3): 411–421 (1983)
Both floral morphology and leaf anatomy proved to be of little value in distinguishing the three variants of the Darwinia diosmoides complex. Morphometric analysis of foliar characters confirmed that the northern variant, which differs in chromosome number and several other respects, should be recognized as a new species (D. capitellata Rye). However, the two southern variants showed complete intergradation in their foliar characters; hence they were not considered sufficiently distinct to be given formal taxonomic rank.
Darwinia capitellata (Myrtaceae), a new species from south-western Australia
RYE, B.L., Nuytsia 4 (3): 423–426 (1983)
A new species, Darwinia capitellata Rye, is described. It differs from its closest relative, D. diosmoides (DC.) Benth., in bracteole shape and texture, distribution of oil glands, arrangement of flower heads, chromosome number and geographical distribution.
Four new names for Pimelea species (Thymelaeaceae) represented in the Perth region
RYE, B.L., Nuytsia 5 (1): 1–11 (1984)
Descriptions of three new Pimelea species (P. brevistyla Rye, P. calcicola Rye and P. ciliata Rye) are given in preparation for the "Flora of the Perth Region". A further species, which appears to be rare and endemic to the Perth Region, is given the new name P. rara Rye, based on P. lehmanniana Meissner var. ligustrinoides Benth.
Taxonomic clarification of the Lomandra odora group (Xanthorrhoeaceae or Dasypogonaceae)
MACFARLANE, T.D., Nuytsia 5 (1): 13–24 (1984)
Three species are recognised in the Lomandra odora group, two of them new: L. odora (Endl.) Ewart, L. nigricans T. D. Macfarlane and L. integra T. D. Macfarlane. The name L. endlicheri (F. Muell.) Ewart is illegitimate; it has often been applied to each of the three species recognised here. Descriptions, photographs of specimens, distribution maps and a key to the three species are provided.
Two new Western Australian species of Lomandra Labill. (Xanthorrhoeaceae)
CHOO, T.S., Nuytsia 5 (1): 43–48 (1984)
Two new species of Lomandra, L. brittanii and L. maritima, are described and figured. They are both restricted to the south-west of Western Australia. Lomandra brittanii occurs east and up to l00 km south-east of Perth and L. maritima occupies coastal habitats over a range from c. 200 km north to c. 70 km south of Perth.
A new species of Darwinia (Myrtaceae) from the Perth region, Western Australia
MARCHANT, N.G., Nuytsia 5 (1): 63–66 (1984)
A new species, Darwinia apiculata, from near Kalamunda, suburban Perth, Western Australia, is described and illustrated. It belongs to sect. Genetyllis (DC.) Benth. and is similar to D. helichrysoides (Meisn.) Benth. and D. oederoides (Turcz.) Benth., differing in its habit, bracts, bracteoles, calyx lobes and corolla lobes. Darwinia apiculata is known only from the type locality.
