CRANFIELD, R.J. AND MACFARLANE, T.D.

A new species, Petrophile vana Cranfield & T.Macfarlane, is described from the Murchison and Yalgoo Bioregions of Western Australia. The new species is known from only three localities where it grows on laterite breakaway ridges. It is illustrated and mapped, and comparisons are made with P. pauciflora Foreman from the same region.
