Service Notice

The Western Australian Herbarium’s collections management system, WAHerb, and DBCA’s taxonomic names application, WACensus, have been set to read-only mode since 1 October 2025. Recent taxonomic changes are not reflected in Florabase, herbarium collections, or in the census. We are hoping to be able to reinstate services around December 15; we will provide an update at that time.

The notice period started at 9:00 am on Wednesday, 1 October 2025 +08:00 and will end at 12:00 pm on Monday, 15 December 2025 +08:00.

Clarification of Amanita umbrinella (Agaricales: Amanitaceae: Amanita sect. Amarrendiae) and three new, related agaricoid species from Australia

DAVISON, E.M., GIUSTINIANO, D. AND CATCHESIDE, P.S., Nuytsia 36: 27–59 (2025)

Details PDF
Amanita umbrinella E.-J.Gilbert & Cleland is re-described based on the lectotype and collections from around Australia; Amanita umbrinelloides A.E.Wood is synonymised with it. Additional information is provided for A. muriniflammea Tulloss, A.M.Young & A.E.Wood. Three closely related species are described herein as: Amanita horizontalis E.M.Davison & Giustiniano, Amanita doreta E.M.Davison & Giustiniano, and Amanita cinereoalba E.M.Davison, Giustiniano & P.S.Catches. Amanita horizontalis differs from A. umbrinella in its taller habit, in having a membranous partial veil that is horizontal when young, ellipsoid to elongate spores, and in molecular sequences. It occurs in South Australia, Tasmania, Victoria and Western Australia. Amanita doreta is similar in appearance to A. horizontalis and has similar shaped spores; but it differs in molecular sequences and occurs in Western Australia. Amanita cinereoalba is a grey, small to medium sized species with a descendent, evanescent partial veil, and large, broadly ellipsoid to ellipsoid spores. It differs in molecular sequences and occurs in South Australia. The 28S gene region indicates A. cinereoalba is closely related to the sequestrate species A. grandis (Bougher) Justo and A. oleosa (Bougher & T.Lebel) Justo.

It can be distinguished from all known members of this section by its distinctive floral features comprising highly branched, blackish red styles and metallic orange petals, among other characters. Detailed notes on its ecology, distribution, and conservation status are provided.

Three new species separated from the eastern Australian Haemodorum planifolium (Haemodoraceae)

MACFARLANE, T.D. AND BARRETT, R.L., Nuytsia 36: 123–139 (2025)

Details PDF
The taxonomy of the eastern Australian species Haemodorum planifolium R.Br. is reviewed and it is divided into four species, three of them new. Haemodorum brevistylum T.Macfarlane & R.L.Barrett occurs mainly in the South Coast and Southern Tablelands regions, north to the Central Coast and Central Tablelands of New South Wales. Haemodorum collevatum T.Macfarlane & R.L.Barrett has a limited distribution in the Northern and Central Coast regions from Sydney to Newcastle. Haemodorum celsum R.L.Barrett & T.Macfarlane is a species of the Northern Tablelands region of New South Wales and the Granite Belt in the southern Darling Downs District of Queensland. Haemodorum planifolium is re-described and lectotypified. In the revised sense, H. planifolium occurs in the Central Coast and Central Tablelands regions of New South Wales (i.e. Wollongong to Gosford, inland to Newnes). All species are illustrated and mapped and a key to the Haemodorum species of New South Wales is provided.

An annotated checklist of Haemodoraceae, including new taxa and new combinations

HOPPER, STEPHEN D., SMITH, R.J. AND HICKMAN, E.J., Nuytsia 36: 141–238 (2025)

Details PDF
In order to provide an up-to-date checklist of Haemodoraceae informed by published and forthcoming molecular phylogenetics, we describe the following new taxa and make new combinations as follows: Haemodorum subg. Gemina Hopper & R.J.Sm., H. subg. Antiqua Hopper & R.J.Sm., H. sandifordiae Hopper & E.J.Hickman, H. clarksonii Hopper & E.J.Hickman, H. ghungalorum Hopper, Paradilatris (Hopper ex J.C.Manning) Hopper, Paradilatris viscosa (L.f.) Hopper, Wachendorfia laxa W.F.Barker ex Hopper, Conostylis subg. Appendicula (Geer.) Hopper, C. subg. Divaricata (Hopper) Hopper, C. sect. Terraflora Hopper, C. glabra Hopper, C. magna Hopper, C. bungalbin Hopper, C. aculeata R.Br. subsp. bolghinup Hopper, C. robusta Diels subsp. hickmaniae Hopper, C. dasys (Hopper) Hopper, Anigozanthos decrescens (Hopper) Hopper & R.J.Sm., A. condingupensis Hopper & R.J.Sm., A. knappiorum Hopper, A. yorlining Hopper, A. humilis Lindl. subsp. grandis Hopper, A. viridis subsp. sophrosyne Hopper, and A. viridis Endl. subsp. metallicus Hopper. We also reinstate Haemodoraceae tribe Wachendorfieae, Haemodorum subvirens F.Muell., H. leptostachyum Benth. and H. flaviflorum W.Fitzg., and make adjustments in the circumscription of subgeneric taxa in Conostylis R.Br. and Anigozanthos Labill. Notes on variation in need of further taxonomic research are provided in the checklist. With these changes Haemodoraceae is a family of two subfamilies, four tribes, 16 genera and 132 species as follows: Haemodoraceae subfamily Haemodoroideae (10 genera/51 species) comprising tribe Haemodoreae Dumort. (4/38) and tribe Wachendorfieae Dumort. (6/13), and subfamily Conostylidoideae T.Macfarlane & Hopper (6/81) comprising tribe Conostyleae Benth. (5/69) and tribe Tribonantheae T.Macfarlane & Hopper (1/12). We do not support the recent recognition of Haemodoraceae tribe Anigozantheae Z.H.Feng.
