Revision of the south-western Australian genus Anticoryne (Myrtaceae: Chamelaucieae)
RYE, B.L.

Anticoryne Turcz. comprises three species occurring in a relatively small portion of south-western Australia. Stamen morphology is of diagnostic importance for the genus, as is its very dark seed colour. In this revision of the genus, the new species A. melanosperma Rye is named and a lectotype is selected for A. ovalifolia (F.Muell.) Rye. All species have conservation priority.
