Stylidium perplexum (Stylidiaceae): a remarkable new triggerplant from south-west Western Australia
WEGE, J.A., Nuytsia 18: 285–289 (2008)
Stylidium perplexum Wege is newly described and photographs and a distribution map provided. This distinctive triggerplant has a tuberous, multi-stemmed and somewhat shrubby habit, discoid glandular trichomes restricted to the pedicels and hypanthia, linear leaves to 2 cm long, an elliptic hypanthium, narrow calyx lobes, and white to purplish laterally-paired corolla lobes bearing eight purple-tipped throat appendages. It occurs within a Conservation Park south-east of Dardanup and is listed as having conservation priority in Western Australia.
A new subspecies of Gnaphalium indutum (Asteraceae: Gnaphalieae)
WILSON, PAUL G., Nuytsia 18: 291–293 (2008)
Gnaphalium indutum Hook.f. is considered to consist of two infraspecific taxa, subsp. indutum and subsp. acuminatum Paul G.Wilson subsp. nov. The latter is predominantly an inland taxon of non-saline habitats.
Coronidium, a new Australian genus in the Gnaphalieae (Asteraceae)
WILSON, PAUL G., Nuytsia 18: 295–329 (2008)
The genus Coronidium Paul G.Wilson, a segregate of Helichrysum Mill. sensu lato, is described. It consists of 17 species, all of which are found in eastern Australia while two are also present in South Australia and one in Tasmania. Six species and two subspecies are described as new: C. cymosum Paul G.Wilson, C. elatum (A.Cunn. ex DC.) Paul G.Wilson subsp. minus Paul G.Wilson, C. elatum subsp. vellerosum Paul G.Wilson, C. flavum Paul G.Wilson, C. fulvidum Paul G.Wilson, C. lanosum Paul G.Wilson, C. kaputaricum Paul G.Wilson, and C. telfordii Paul G.Wilson, while Helichrysum adenophorum var. waddelliae J.H.Willis is raised to species rank as C. waddelliae (J.H.Willis) Paul G.Wilson; a further ten species are transfers from Helichrysum: C. oxylepis (F.Muell.) Paul G.Wilson, C. rupicola (DC.) Paul G.Wilson, C. glutinosum (Hook.) Paul G.Wilson, C. lanuginosum (A.Cunn. ex DC.) Paul G.Wilson, C. newcastlianum (Domin) Paul G.Wilson, C. boormanii (Maiden & Betche) Paul G.Wilson, C. elatum (DC.) Paul G.Wilson, C. lindsayanum (Domin) Paul G.Wilson, C. adenophorum (F.Muell.) Paul G Wilson, and C. scorpioides (Labill.) Paul G.Wilson. Several names are lectotypified.
Notes on the genus _Chrysocephalum (_Angianthinae: Asteraceae) with the description of one new species from Western Australia, and a new combination
WILSON, PAUL G., Nuytsia 18: 331–338 (2008)
The probability of the genus Chrysocephalum being paraphyletic is reviewed. Helichrysum gilesii F.Muell. is transferred to Chrysocephalum. A new species from the Gibson Desert, Western Australia is described and is compared with its close relative C. gilesii (F.Muell.) Paul G.Wilson. A widespread taxon from southern Australia which has been variously referred to as Chrysocephalum apiculatum (Labill.) Steetz or C. aff. apiculatum is shown to be C. vitellinum Sond.; this name is lectotypified. A key to the species of Chrysocephalum found in Western Australia is provided.
Lepidosperma amansiferrum is an orthographic error of L. amantiferrum
BARRETT, R.L., Nuytsia 18: 339 (2008)
The name Lepidosperma amansiferrum R.L.Barrett was recently published for a new species restricted to banded ironstone formations in the southern Goldfields of Western Australia (Barrett 2007). Karen Wilson and Peter Wilson (both Royal Botanic Gardens Sydney) recently drew my attention to an error in the way the Latin words were combined to form this name. Constructed from the Latin words amans (loving) and ferrum (iron), the word amans, when combined with ferrum, should be declined to amanti- (Stearn 1992).
Kennedia lateritia, a new name for Kennedia macrophylla (Fabaceae)
LALLY, T.R. AND WILSON, PAUL G., Nuytsia 18: 340–341 (2008)
The plant currently referred to as Kennedia macrophylla (Meisn.) Benth. is a twining or scrambling shrub with a very restricted distribution in the far south-west of Western Australia. It is listed as Declared Rare Flora under the Western Australian Wildlife Conservation Act 1950 and is endangered under the Commonwealth Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (DEWHA 2007). In contrast to its rarity in nature, this taxon is widely cultivated in temperate Australia (Jones & Gray 1977; Elliot & Jones 1993). In view of the horticultural and conservation significance of this species, a necessary change to its nomenclature is presented here in advance of a revision of the subtribe Kennediinae currently in preparation by the first author.
