Amanita drummondii and A. quenda (Basidiomycota), two new species from Western Australia, and an expanded description of A. walpolei

DAVISON, E.M., GIUSTINIANO, D., MCGURK, L.E., SYME, K. AND ROBINSON, R.M., Nuytsia 25: 1–13 (2015)

Details PDF
Three species of Amanita Pers. are documented from Western Australia. Amanita drummondii E.M.Davison is described from the south-west region; it appears to be widespread but infrequent. Amanita quenda E.M.Davison is described from the Perth Metropolitan area. Amanita walpolei O.K.Mill. is redescribed to include additional collections, drawing attention to the presence of clamp connections in all tissues. A BLASTn search has shown that there are no exact matches of the nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region of each species with those in GenBank.

Reinstatement of Ericomyrtus (Myrtaceae: Chamelaucieae), with three new combinations

RYE, B.L., Nuytsia 25: 131–143 (2015)

The south-western Australian genus Ericomyrtus Turcz. is reinstated as a small genus comprising the type species E. drummondii Turcz., and three species transferred into the genus as E. parvifolia (Turcz.) Rye, E. serpyllifolia (Turcz.) Rye and E. tenuior (Ewart) Rye. A lectotype is selected for the base name of the last of those species, Baeckea crispiflora var. tenuior Ewart. It appears that the genus has a tetraploid base number of x = 22. Maps, descriptions and a key are provided for the four named members of the genus.

Dipteracanthus chichesterensis (Acanthaceae: Ruellieae), a new geographically and edaphically restricted species from the Pilbara bioregion of Western Australia

TRUDGEN, MALCOLM E. AND DE KOCK, P.-L., Nuytsia 25: 161–170 (2015)

Details PDF
Dipteracanthus chichesterensis Trudgen & de Kock is described as a new species of Acanthaceae (tribe Ruellieae Dumort.) restricted to the Chichester Plateau in the Pilbara bioregion of Western Australia. The new species is known from five localities and is considered poorly known and of conservation significance. It is most closely related to D. australasicus F.Muell., differing in stem and leaf indumentum, pollen ornamentation and seed characteristics. A distribution map, photographs and a key to Dipteracanthus Nees taxa currently recognised in Western Australia are provided.

A revision of species from the tribe Lasiopetaleae (Byttnerioideae: Malvaceae) with rostrate anthers

Details PDF
An informal group of species within the tribe Lasiopetaleae Gay, characterised by a lack of stipules and distinctive, rostrate anthers, are revised and included in Lasiopetalum Sm. Revised descriptions are provided for the reinstated L. laxiflorum (Benth.) F.Muell. and newly elevated subspecies of L. glutinosum (Lindl.) F.Muell. (L. glutinosum subsp. glutinosum and L. glutinosum subsp. latifolium (Benth.) K.A.Sheph. & C.F.Wilkins). Three new species of conservation concern are recognised (L. cenobium K.A.Sheph. & C.F.Wilkins, L. trichantherum K.A.Sheph. & C.F.Wilkins and L. venustum K.A.Sheph. & C.F.Wilkins).

Stylidium miscellany II: typification of some Sonder names and the description of a new subspecies of S. uniflorum

WEGE, J.A., Nuytsia 25: 197–208 (2015)

Details PDF
A full synonymy is presented for S. affine Sond. to include S. affine var. minus E.Pritz., a name previously treated as a synonym of S. caricifolium Lindl. Lectotypes are selected for four species described by Otto Sonder, namely S. lineatum Sond., S. pubigerum Sond., S. rupestre Sond. and S. uniflorum Sond. Stylidium rupestre f. abbreviatum Mildbr., S. rupestre f. congestum Mildbr., S. rupestre f. uniflorum Mildbr. and S. glaucum var. brownei DC. are formally placed into synonymy under S. rupestre, with lectotypes designated for S. rupestre f. abbreviatum and S. glaucum var. brownei. Revised descriptions are provided for S. rupestre and S. uniflorum, and S. uniflorum subsp. extensum Wege is newly described. Putative hybrids between both subspecies of S. uniflorum and S. leptophyllum DC. are recorded.
