Scaevola ballajupensis (Goodeniaceae), a new species from the Jarrah forest of south-western Australia
SAGE, L.W.

The new species Scaevola ballajupensis L.W. Sage, from the south-western Australian Jarrah forest, is described and photographically illustrated. The species is known only from one locality on private property and therefore has a high conservation priority. An amendment to the key to Scaevola species in "Flora of Australia" is made to include the new taxon and a table showing how it differs from its closest relatives is provided.
