SIRISENA, U.M., MACFARLANE, T.D. AND CONRAN, J.G.

Thysanotus unicupensis is described as a new species from south-west Western Australia. This species shows some affinities to T. chinensis, T. formosus and T.parviflorus and is apparently localised on lateritic soils in moderately sunny areas within Jarrah/ Marri (Eucalyptus marginata/Corymbia calophylla) woodlands. The key published in Flora of Australia (1987) is amended to include the new species.
