Drosera ordensis (Droseraceae), a new tropical species of carnivorous plant from northern Australia
LOWRIE, A., Nuytsia 9 (3): 363–367 (1994)
A new species, Drosera ordensis (Droseraceae) is described from tropical northern Australia. The features that distinguish this taxon from its nearest relatives are presented and an indication is given of its habitat preferences.
Stylidium pulviniforme (Stylidiaceae), a new species of triggerplant from south-west Western Australia
LOWRIE, A. AND KENNEALLY, K.F., Nuytsia 9 (3): 369–373 (1994)
A new species of Stylidium (Stylidiaceae) endemic to south-west Western Australia, S. pulviniforme Lowrie and Kenneally, is described and illustrated.
Chamaexeros longicaulis (Dasypogonaceae), a new species from Walpole, south western Australia, with additional notes on Chamaexeros
MACFARLANE, T.D., Nuytsia 9 (3): 375–382 (1994)
The new species is described and illustrated with photographs. Chamaexeros longicaulis is most closely related to C. serra but differs in several characteristics including three unique in the genus: elongated stems, elongated rhizomes resulting in vegetative reproduction, and thickened vertical rhizomes which presumably provide for storage of reserves. The species is of conservation interest owing to the small number of populations known, and is listed among conservation priority taxa for Western Australia. A revised key to the species of Chamaexeros is presented. Features of the ovary, capsule and seed are clarified for this genus. Floral measurement data are given for all species. A range extension is noted for C. serra.
C.R.P. Andrews’ species of Acacia (Leguminosae : Mimosoideae) : typification of the names
MASLIN, B.R. AND COWAN, R.S., Nuytsia 9 (3): 383–385 (1994)
William Vincent Fitzgerald’s species of Acacia (Leguminosae : Mimosoideae) : typification of names
MASLIN, B.R. AND COWAN, R.S., Nuytsia 9 (3): 387–398 (1994)
William Vincent Fitzgerald described 33 new species of Acacia in four papers published between 1904 and 1917. Notes on these publications and on the specimens used by Fitzgerald are provided. Lectotypes are selected for 23 names, based on specimens located at BM (4), PERTH (6) and NSW (13).
C.F. Meissner’s species of Acacia (Leguminosae : Mimosoideae) : typification of names
MASLIN, B.R. AND COWAN, R.S., Nuytsia 9 (3): 399–414 (1994)
The type status of names for all 56 taxa described by Meissner in Lehmann’s "Plantae Preissianae" (1844 and 1848) and in a subsequent paper in "Botanisches Zeitung" (1855) has been carefully assessed. Consequently, we have fixed the application of these names by choosing lectotypes wherever possible from among the syntypes, particularly those at BM, LD and NY. Of the lectotypes selected here 19 are at LD, 10 are at NY and 2 at BM.
A contribution to the taxonomy of the Tiliaceae of Western Australia
RYE, B.L., Nuytsia 9 (3): 415–420 (1994)
A new species of Nicotiana (Solanaceae) from near Broome, Western Australia
SYMON, D.E. AND KENNEALLY, K.F., Nuytsia 9 (3): 421–425 (1994)
Nicotiana heterantha Symon & Kenneally is described from near Broome, Western Australia. The new species is known from only two populations, both of which are under threat from grazing. It appears most closely related to N. rosulata subsp. rosulata.
New species of Hibbertia (Dilleniaceae) from the northern wheatbelt area of Western Australia
WHEELER, J.R., Nuytsia 9 (3): 427–437 (1994)
H. lividula, H. glabriuscula, H. graniticola and H. arcuata from the northern wheatbelt area of Western Australia are described and illustrated. The placement of H. lividula in section Hibbertia subsection Bracteatae and H. glabriuscula in section Hibbertia subsection Ochrolasiae is discussed. The relationship between H. graniticola and H. arcuata is also examined.
