HAY, A., BARRETT, M.D. AND BARRETT, R.L., Nuytsia 13 (1): 243–245 (1999)
Typhonium Schott is a genus of about 40 species of East Asian and Australian geophytic, mostly saproentomophilous aroids, the largest genus of the eastern-hemispheric tribe Areae. Typhonium has been revised recently for Australia (Hay 1993) and in toto (Sriboonma 1994), with the subsequent addition of three new species in Australia (Hay 1996; Hay & Taylor 1997). Several further new species are also coming to light in Indochina (Dzu & Croat 1997; Hetterscheid, pers. comm.). Here we describe another new Australian species, bringing the total for Australia to 17, of which all but two are endemic. A key to Australian Typhonium, including this new species, will appear in the forthcoming treatment for “Flora of Australia” (Hay, in prep.).

LOWRIE, A. AND KENNEALLY, K.F., Nuytsia 13 (1): 251–254 (1999)
The new species of triggerplant (Stylidiaceae) described here is endemic to the Northern Territory. It belongs in Stylidium subgenus Andersonia (R. Br.) Mildbr., which is characterized by having a linear hypanthium, the walls of the mature capsule recurved, the septum erect and persistent, and numerous seeds. This subgenus occurs in regions of tropical northern Australia and extends into south-east Asia (Mildbraed 1908).

LOWRIE, A., COATES, D.J. AND KENNEALLY, K.F., Nuytsia 13 (1): 255–257 (1999)
Stylidium chiddarcoopingense (Stylidiaceae) is a new species of triggerplant endemic to south-west Western Australia. It is a member of the Stylidium caricifolium complex, in which seven species are now recognized. The other six species were described and illustrated in Lowrie et al. (1998). All members of the Stylidium caricifolium complex belong in subgenus Tolypangium Endl., section Squamosae Benth. (Mildbraed 1908).
A new record for the fern flora of south-western Australia: a single plant of Histiopteris incisa from Mt Lindesay
WARDELL-JOHNSON, G., Nuytsia 13 (1): 259–260 (1999)
A single large (rhizome length 0.4 m, leaf length 0.5 m) individual of the cosmopolitan fern Histiopteris incisa (Thunb.) J. Sm. (Dennstaedtiaceae) was located on the lower south-western slopes (altitude 110 m) of Mt Lindesay on 3 January 1999. The plant was found growing in a partially shaded, horizontal crevice of a large granite boulder 1.5 m from the ground and 100 metres up a steep slope to the east of the Denmark River. The general area included substantial areas of outcropping in otherwise woodland/forest habitat. This is the first record of this species from south-western Australia, and increases the pteridophyte flora (ferns and fern allies) of the Jarrah Forest Bioregion to 30.

Malvanthera Corner is described from the East Gardiner District of Western Australia and the Victoria River District of the Northern Territory. This lithophytic species is restricted to the sandstone escarpments around Kununurra and the Keep River National Park. Ficus lilliputiana is distinct, being the smallest taxon in the section and the only one to have a prostrate habit. Two forms are recognized, F. lilliputiana f. lilliputiana and F. lilliputiana f. pilosa D.J. Dixon, and are differentiated on the basis of the presence or absence of an indumentum. A key to the forms and notes on distribution, ecology, reproduction, conservation status and etymology are provided.

Notes on Eucalyptus series Orbifoliae (Myrtaceae) including a new species from central Australia
NICOLLE, D., Nuytsia 13 (3): 487–493 (2001)
A key and distribution map for all taxa of Eucalyptus ser. Orbifoliae Brooker & Hopper are provided. Eucalyptus minniritchi Nicolle is described to accommodate populations of mallees in central Australia previously referred to as E. orbifolia F. Muell. or E. websteriana Maiden and related to both. The new species differs from E. orbifolia in the smaller buds with a short hemispherical operculum, the smaller and narrower adult leaves and the generally smaller, hemispherical fruits and differs from E. websteriana in the consistently and strongly pruinose adult parts and generally coarser leaves, peduncles, pedicels, buds and fruits. E. lata L.A.S. Johnson & K.D. Hill, a species recently described to accommodate what is here recognized to be typical E. orbifolia, is synonymised with that earlier named species. The status of E. educta L.A.S. Johnson & K.D. Hill and its relationship to E. orbifolia is discussed.

Thryptomene johnsonii F. Muell. is reinstated, T. prolifera Turcz. is reduced to a synonym of T. mucronulata Turcz., and a lectotype is selected for T. dielsiana E. Pritz., which is another synonym of T. mucronulata.

TRUDGEN, MALCOLM E., Nuytsia 13 (3): 543–566 (2001)
Euryomyrtus Schauer is reinstated and lectotypified. A revision of the genus with descriptions, maps, illustrations and a key is presented. Seven species are recognized for the genus which is endemic to southern Australia, including Tasmania. Euryomyrtus denticulata (Maiden & Betche) Trudgen, E. leptospermoides (C.A. Gardner) Trudgen, E. maidenii (Ewart & Jean White) Trudgen, E. ramosissima (A. Cunn.) Trudgen and E. ramosissima subsp. prostrata (Hook. f.) Trudgen are new combinations, and E. inflata Trudgen, E. patrickiae Trudgen and E. recurva Trudgen are new species. The closest relatives of the genus are considered to be in a natural group which includes Rinzia Schauer, Hypocalymma Endl., Ochrosperma Trudgen and Triplarina Raf.
Agonis fragrans (Myrtaceae), a new species from Western Australia
WHEELER, J.R., MARCHANT, N.G. AND ROBINSON, C.J., Nuytsia 13 (3): 567–570 (2001)
Agonis fragrans J.R. Wheeler & N.G. Marchant is described and illustrated. This species, previously recognized by the cut-flower industry by informal names, now requires scientific recognition to further its development for an essential oil. The differences between this species and A. juniperina Schauer are discussed.
A taxonomic revision of the Western Australian genus Lysiosepalum (Malvaceae: Lasiopetaleae)
WILKINS, C.F. AND CHAPPILL, J.A., Nuytsia 13 (3): 571–594 (2001)
A taxonomic revision of Lysiosepalum F. Muell., a genus endemic to south-western Australia, identified five species. These comprise two currently accepted species L. involucratum (Turcz.) Druce and L. rugosum Benth., the reinstated L. hexandrum (S. Moore) S. Moore and two new species L. abollatum C.F. Wilkins (CALM Priority One) and L. aromaticum C.F. Wilkins (CALM Priority Two) that probably require recognition as Declared Rare Flora. A cladogram based on morphological data indicates that Lysiosepalum is a monophyletic genus, strongly supported by three synapomorphies unique in tribe Lasiopetaleae: calyx tube very short (lobes scarcely fused at the base); calyx lobes of alternating broad and narrow widths; epicalyx bracts equally spaced to completely enclose the mature bud. A chromosome number of n = 10 for L. involucratum is the first published record for the genus.
Leiocarpa, a new Australian genus of the Asteraceae tribe Gnaphalieae
WILSON, PAUL G., Nuytsia 13 (3): 595–605 (2001)
A new genus Leiocarpa Paul G. Wilson (Gnaphalieae: Asteraceae) is described; it is circumscribed to include the species that have been placed in Ixiolaena Benth., other than the type, two of the species placed in Leptorhynchos Less., and two species currently in Chrysocephalum Walp. The characters that distinguish Ixiolaena, Leiocarpa, Leptorhynchos, and Chrysocephalum are discussed. The ten species recognized in the new genus are as follows: L. brevicompta (F. Muell.) Paul G. Wilson, L. gatesii (H.B. Will.) Paul G. Wilson, L. leptolepis (DC.) Paul G. Wilson, L. panaetioides (DC.) Paul G. Wilson, L. pluriseta (Haegi) Paul G. Wilson, L. semicalva (F. Muell.) Paul G. Wilson, L. serpens (Everett) Paul G. Wilson, L. supina (F. Muell.) Paul G. Wilson, and L. tomentosa (Sond.) Paul G. Wilson. One new subspecies is described: L. semicalva subsp. tenuifolia Paul G. Wilson, and one new subspecific combination, Leiocarpa semicalva subsp. vinacea (Haegi) Paul G. Wilson, is made. Lectotypes are chosen for L. brevicompta, L. tomentosa, L. semicalva, and L. supina.
Leptorhynchos (Asteraceae: Gnaphalieae), notes, new taxa and a lectotypification
WILSON, PAUL G., Nuytsia 13 (3): 607–611 (2001)
Two new species of Leptorhynchos Less. are described, L. orientalis Paul G. Wilson which is found in South Australia, New South Wales, and Victoria, and L. melanocarpus Paul G. Wilson which is restricted to gypseous mounds on a salt lake in South Australia. The typification of the generic name is discussed and a lectotype is chosen for L. tenuifolius F. Muell.
