An update to the taxonomy of some Western Australian genera of Myrtaceae tribe Chamelaucieae. 1. Calytrix
RYE, B.L.

Calytrix watsonii (F.Muell. & Tate) C.A.Gardner is reinstated and four species with conservation priority are described: C. hislopii Rye, C. patrickiae Rye, C. sagei Rye and C. viscida Rye. Keys are given for the species groups that include these taxa. The current study has eliminated about half of the informal names that have been in use for Western Australian members of the genus. Several species complexes that need further study are noted.
