Solanum zoeae (Solanaceae), a new species of bush tomato from the North Kimberley, Western Australia

BARRETT, R.L., Nuytsia 23: 5–21 (2013)

Recent surveys in the North Kimberley have brought numerous new species to light. Studies have revealed considerable taxonomic complexity in the genus Solanum L. in the Kimberley region that requires the recognition of a number of new taxa. Solanum zoeae R.L. Barrett is described here following collection of the first fertile material on a remote sandstone outcrop on Doongan Station. Notes are provided on all phrase-named Solanum taxa currently recognised in the Kimberley region and a revised key to Solanum species in the Kimberley region is provided.
