Spartothamnella canescens (Lamiaceae: Chloantheae), a new species from Western and Central Australia, with notes on the status of S. sp. Helena & Aurora Range
THIELE, K.R. AND SHEPHERD, K.A., Nuytsia 24: 177–185 (2014)
Morphological assessment of the informally named Spartothamnella sp. Helena & Aurora Range (P.G. Armstrong 155-109) shows it is not distinct from Western Australian populations of S. puberula (F.Muell.) Maiden & Betche. However, examination of S. puberula s. lat. shows that Western and Central Australian populations are morphologically distinct from typical populations in eastern Australia. Accordingly, S. canescens K.R.Thiele & K.A.Sheph. is newly described to accommodate these atypical populations. A revised description of S. puberula and a modified key for the genus are also provided.
Acacia mackenziei, a new species of Acacia section Lycopodiifoliae (Fabaceae: Mimosoideae) with conservation significance from the east Kimberley region in northern Western Australia
MASLIN, B.R. AND BARRETT, R.L., Nuytsia 24: 187–192 (2014)
Studies of Acacia Mill. sect. Lycopodiifoliae Pedley have resulted in the recognition of a new species, A. mackenziei Maslin & R.L.Barrett, which is most closely related to A. anasilla A.S.George. The new species occurs in the east Kimberley region of Western Australia where it is restricted to a single sandstone range near Kununurra. Acacia mackenziei is classified as a Priority One taxon under Department of Parks and Wildlife Conservation Codes for Western Australian Flora.
Four new species of Acacia section Juliflorae (Fabaceae: Mimosoideae) from the arid zone in Western Australia
MASLIN, B.R., Nuytsia 24: 193–205 (2014)
Four new species from Acacia Mill. sect. Juliflorae (Benth.) Maiden & Betche are described, namely, A. curryana Maslin, A. doreta Maslin, A. lapidosa Maslin and A. petricola Maslin. Apart from A. doreta which extends into the Northern Territory and South Australia these species are endemic in Western Australia. Three of the species have conservation value under Department of Parks and Wildlife Conservation Codes for Western Australian Flora, namely, A. curryana (Priority One), A. lapidosa (Priority One) and A. petricola (Priority Two).
Calandrinia butcherensis and C. rubrisabulosa (Portulacaceae), new species from the Midwest of Western Australia
OBBENS, F.J., Nuytsia 24: 207–214 (2014)
Two new species of Calandrinia Kunth. sect. Pseudodianthoideae Poelln. are described: C. butcherensis Obbens and C. rubrisabulosa Obbens. Images of the taxa and a distribution map are provided.
An account of the reed triggerplants (Stylidium sect. Junceae: Stylidiaceae)
WEGE, J.A., Nuytsia 24: 215–247 (2014)
This taxonomic review of Stylidium sect. Junceae Mildbr. recognises eight species endemic to south-western Western Australia and presents a new circumscription for S. junceum R.Br., the original description of which was based on a mixed gathering comprising three distinct taxa. A lectotype is designated in order to fix the application of the name S. junceum to one of these, a species with a diminutive habit, pale creamy yellow to apricot-pink corolla lobes, and a column morphology that is unique within the genus. A neotype is designated for S. junceum subsp. brevius (E.Pritz.) Carlquist, which is not recognised as distinct. Stylidium scariosum DC. is reinstated and S. hesperium Wege, S. hygrophilum Wege, S. paludicola Wege and S. thryonides Wege described as new. Revised descriptions are provided for S. squamosotuberosum Carlquist and S. laciniatum C.A.Gardner, with S. junceum var. volubile F.Muell. lectotypified and placed into synonymy under the latter species. Descriptions, distribution maps, illustrations and photographs are supplied for each species, and an identification key provided. Stylidium hygrophilum has a highly localised distribution on the Blackwood Plateau south of Busselton and may warrant listing as Threatened. Stylidium paludicola, a species confined to swamps on the Swan Coastal Plain, is also listed as being of conservation concern, with targeted surveys required to better understand its conservation status.
A new subspecies of the threatened monocalypt Eucalyptus insularis (Myrtaceae) from Western Australia
NICOLLE, D., BROOKER, M.I.H. AND FRENCH, M.E., Nuytsia 24: 249–253 (2014)
Two subspecies are here recognised in the geographically rare and taxonomically isolated Eucalyptus insularis Brooker. Eucalyptus insularis subsp. insularis is known only from North Twin Peak Island in the Recherche Archipelago, about 90 km east-south-east of Esperance. Eucalyptus insularis subsp. continentalis D.Nicolle & Brooker subsp. nov. is known only from several small populations near Cape Le Grand on the mainland, about 25 km south-east of Esperance, and differs from the type subspecies in its low shrubby habit, smaller adult leaves with obscure tertiary venation and irregularly-shaped oil glands, more strongly pendulous inflorescences, and its generally smaller buds and fruits.
Brachyloma stenolobum (Ericaceae: Styphelioideae: Styphelieae), a new, white-flowered species for Western Australia
HISLOP, M. AND CRANFIELD, R.J., Nuytsia 24: 255–261 (2014)
A new member of Brachyloma Sond. sect. Lissanthoides Benth. is described and illustrated. Two keys are presented: an interim key to the Western Australian species of Brachyloma, and an Australia-wide key to the species of sect. Lissanthoides. The presence of two lineages in the genus, distinguished by molecular phylogenetics and morphology, is discussed, and the case for future elevation of sect. Lissanthoides to generic status is examined.
The scantily collected Corymbia punkapitiensis (Myrtaceae) is not distinct from the widespread arid-zone species C. aparrerinja
NICOLLE, D., Nuytsia 24: 263–267 (2014)
An update to the taxonomy of some Western Australian genera of Myrtaceae tribe Chamelaucieae. 3. Thryptomene
RYE, B.L., Nuytsia 24: 269–306 (2014)
Fifteen new species of Thryptomene Endl. that belong to sect. Astraea Stapf s. lat. are described: T. caduca Rye & Trudgen, T. calcicola Rye, T. dampieri Rye, T. globifera Rye, T. hubbardii Rye & Trudgen, T. nitida Rye & Trudgen, T. orbiculata Rye & Trudgen, T. pinifolia Rye & Trudgen, T. podantha Rye & Trudgen, T. repens Rye & Trudgen, T. shirleyae Rye, T. spicata Rye & Trudgen, T. stapfii Rye & Trudgen, T. velutina Rye & Trudgen and T. wannooensis Rye. A key is supplied for sect. Astraea and line illustrations or images for seven of the new taxa. Thryptomene urceolaris F.Muell. is selected as the lectotype of T. sect. Thryptocalpe Stapf. Lectotypes are also selected for T. stenophylla F.Muell. and for Scholtzia decandra F.Muell., which is a synonym of T. saxicola (A.Cunn. ex Hook.) Schauer. Most of the new taxa are conservation-listed. Species or species groups needing further study are noted.
