Service Notice

The Western Australian Herbarium’s collections management system, WAHerb, and DBCA’s flora taxonomic names application, WACensus, have been set to read-only mode since 1 October 2025. Recent taxonomic changes are not currently being reflected in Florabase, herbarium collections, or the census. Due to the rapidly approaching holiday season and associated agency and facility soft closures, along with the substantial work involved in data mapping, cleaning, and verification, the migration to the new collection management software is not expected to occur before 1 March 2026, when a further update will be provided. Please reach out to us if you have any questions or concerns.

The notice period started at 9:45 am on Friday, 12 December 2025 +08:00 and will end at 12:00 pm on Monday, 2 March 2026 +08:00.

The classification of Australian species currently included in Helipterum and related genera (Asteraceae : Gnaphalieae) : Part 2 Leucochrysum

WILSON, PAUL G., Nuytsia 8 (3): 439–446 (1992)

Details
A new endemic Australian genus, Leucochrysum (DC.) Paul G. Wilson, is described to accommodate Helipterum stipitatum, H. fitzgibbonii, and most of the taxa previously referred to the H. albicans group. New combinations are effected to accommodate the five species and five infraspecific taxa.

The classification of some Australian species currently included in Helipterum and Helichrysum (Asteraceae : Gnaphalieae) : Part 3 Anemocarpa and Argentipallium, two new genera from Australia

WILSON, PAUL G., Nuytsia 8 (3): 447–460 (1992)

Details
Two new genera Anemocarpa and Argentipallium are described in the Gnaphalieae: Angianthinae. The first genus is based on a new species Anemocarpa calcicola from Western Australia and includes two other species: A. podolepidium [Helichrysum podolepidium F. Muell.], and A. saxatilis [Helipterum saxatile Paul G. Wilson]; it is apparently most closely related to the genera Leucochrysum (DC.) Paul G. Wilson and Chrysocephalum Walp. The second genus is based on Argentipallium obtusifolium (Sonder) Paul G. Wilson [Helichrysum obtusifolium Sonder] and includes five other species: A. blandowskianum [Helichrysum blandowskianum Sonder], A. dealbatum [Helichrysum dealbatum Labill.], A. niveum [Helipterum niveum Steetz], A. spiceri [Helichrysum spiceri F. Muell.], and A. tephrodes [Ozothamnus tephrodes Turcz.]; it is evidently most closely related to Ozothamnus R.Br.

The classification of the genus Waitzia Wendl. (Asteraceae : Gnaphalieae)

WILSON, PAUL G., Nuytsia 8 (3): 461–477 (1992)

Details
The circumscription of Waitzia is discussed and a narrow generic concept proposed. Five species and two infraspecific taxa are recognised. A key is provided and full synonymy given. One new species combination, W. nitida, is made; two new varieties are described. Waitzia citrina, W. conica and W. paniculata are excluded from the genus.

A new species of Acomis from the Northern Territory and a new combination in the genus Thiseltonia (Asteraceae : Gnaphalieae)

WILSON, PAUL G., Nuytsia 8 (3): 479–483 (1992)

Details
The recognition of the genera Rutidosis, Acomis, and Thiseltonia is discussed. A new species, Acomis kakadu, is described from Kakadu National Park, Northern Territory, and a new combination, Thiseltonia gracillima, is made for the plant previously known as T. dyeri.
