A taxonomic review of the Stylidium caricifolium complex (Stylidiaceae), from south-west Western Australia
LOWRIE, A., COATES, D.J. AND KENNEALLY, K.F., Nuytsia 12 (1): 43–57 (1998)
A taxonomic review of the Stylidium caricifolium Lindl. complex (Stylidiaceae) is presented. Six species are recognized, including the new taxa, S. maritimum, S. sejunctum and S.wilroyense Lowrie, Coates & Kenneally. Additionally, S. affine Sond. and S. nungarinense S. Moore are restored to species rank. Recognition of these species is supported by chromosome, allozyme, ecological, geographical and morphological evidence. All six taxa are endemic to south-west Western Australia.

A new species of Typhonium (Araceae: Areae) from the West Kimberley, Western Australia
HAY, A., BARRETT, M.D. AND BARRETT, R.L., Nuytsia 13 (1): 243–245 (1999)
Typhonium Schott is a genus of about 40 species of East Asian and Australian geophytic, mostly saproentomophilous aroids, the largest genus of the eastern-hemispheric tribe Areae. Typhonium has been revised recently for Australia (Hay 1993) and in toto (Sriboonma 1994), with the subsequent addition of three new species in Australia (Hay 1996; Hay & Taylor 1997). Several further new species are also coming to light in Indochina (Dzu & Croat 1997; Hetterscheid, pers. comm.). Here we describe another new Australian species, bringing the total for Australia to 17, of which all but two are endemic. A key to Australian Typhonium, including this new species, will appear in the forthcoming treatment for “Flora of Australia” (Hay, in prep.).

All members of the Stylidium caricifolium complex belong in subgenus Tolypangium Endl., section Squamosae Benth. (Mildbraed 1908).
A new record for the fern flora of south-western Australia: a single plant of Histiopteris incisa from Mt Lindesay
WARDELL-JOHNSON, G., Nuytsia 13 (1): 259–260 (1999)
A single large (rhizome length 0.4 m, leaf length 0.5 m) individual of the cosmopolitan fern Histiopteris incisa (Thunb.) J. Sm. (Dennstaedtiaceae) was located on the lower south-western slopes (altitude 110 m) of Mt Lindesay on 3 January 1999. The plant was found growing in a partially shaded, horizontal crevice of a large granite boulder 1.5 m from the ground and 100 metres up a steep slope to the east of the Denmark River. The general area included substantial areas of outcropping in otherwise woodland/forest habitat. This is the first record of this species from south-western Australia, and increases the pteridophyte flora (ferns and fern allies) of the Jarrah Forest Bioregion to 30.

A key to the members of this group is provided.
Ficus lilliputiana (Moraceae), a new species from the Kimberley region of Western Australia and the Northern Territory
DIXON, D.J., Nuytsia 13 (3): 457–464 (2001)
Ficus lilliputiana D.J. Dixon, a new species in subgenus Urostigma sect. Malvanthera Corner is described from the East Gardiner District of Western Australia and the Victoria River District of the Northern Territory. This lithophytic species is restricted to the sandstone escarpments around Kununurra and the Keep River National Park. Ficus lilliputiana is distinct, being the smallest taxon in the section and the only one to have a prostrate habit. Two forms are recognized, F. lilliputiana f. lilliputiana and F. lilliputiana f. pilosa D.J. Dixon, and are differentiated on the basis of the presence or absence of an indumentum. A key to the forms and notes on distribution, ecology, reproduction, conservation status and etymology are provided.
