Rye Western Australian Herbarium, Department of Environment and Conservation, Locked Bag 104, Bentley Delivery Centre, Western Australia 6983 Abstract Hislop, M. & Rye, B.L. Two new, glaucous-leaved species of Isopogon (Proteaceae: Proteoideae: Leucadendreae) from south-western Australia. Nuytsia 20: 169–181 (2010). Two new species and two new subspecies with simple, flat, glaucous leaves are described:Isopogon panduratus Hislop & Rye, I. panduratus subsp. palustris Hislop & Rye, I. pruinosus Hislop & Rye and I. pruinosus subsp. glabellus Hislop & Rye. Their distributions are mapped and the first three are illustrated. The four new taxa belong in a species group that includes Isopogon axillaris R.Br. and I. buxifolius R.Br. s. lat. Isopogon panduratus subsp. palustris has conservation priority. Introduction Isopogon R.Br. ex J. Knight is a moderately large genus belonging to the subfamily Proteoideae and occurring in southern mainland Australia and on islands in the Bass Strait. The genus was until recently included in the tribe Conospermeae, but as a result of a comprehensive molecular analysis of the family, utilizing published and unpublished DNA sequence data from several genomic regions, it has been transferred to a newly described tribe, Leucadendreae (Weston & Barker 2006). Foreman’s treatment (1995) of Isopogon in Volume 16 of Flora of Australia was curtailed by ill health caused in part by an allergic reaction to contact with the two proteaceous genera, Isopogon and Petrophile, that were then the subject of his research (Alex George, pers. com.). It is probable that he would have recognised additional species had he been able to complete his revision of the genus prior to publication of the flora treatment. As it was however he retained the pre-existing, taxonomic status quo in the most complex group of western species, those with simple, thick, flat leaves allied to Isopogon buxifolius. This did not adequately reflect the group’s diversity and led him to circumscribe some species, especially I. buxifolius very broadly, while at the same time leaving numerous specimens largely unresolved. Foreman was clearly unsure what to do with the glaucous-leaved specimens now attributable to the two species described below. He annotated these in a variety of ways, sometimes identifying them as named species such as I. axillaris or I. polycephalus, at other times using informal names or indicating affinities only, e.g. ‘Isopogon sp. 2’, ‘I. attenuatus complex’ or ‘I. polycephalus variant’. Bentham (1870) included the simple, flat-leaved species in sectionHypsanthus (Endl.)Benth, however it is clear that this subgeneric grouping, at least as applied by Bentham, is an artificial one. 170 Nuytsia Vol. 20 (2010) It was not long after the flora treatment ofIsopogon appeared that its limitations became apparent. Even before its publication, the name Isopogon sp. Watheroo (D. Foreman 477) had been added to the Census of Western Australian Plants by ecologist E.A. (Ted) Griffin for a species with glaucous leaves that he had observed while working on vegetation surveys of the Geraldton sandplains. In its original application that name was restricted to populations occurring north of Perth and included collections of a second taxon that was later segregated as I. sp. Badgingarra (A.S. George 14200). These northern taxa are described here as the two subspecies of Isopogon panduratus Hislop & Rye. The concept of I. sp. Watheroo was later expanded to include plants with a generally similar morphology from the central and south-eastern wheatbelt which are described below as I. pruinosus Hislop & Rye. Apart from the taxa treated in this paper, an additional five informal names have been allocated to new Western Australian members of the genus, four of which apply to other species from the Isopogon buxifolius group. These will be described in a separate paper. Methods This study was based on an examination of collections housed at PERTH. All measurements were obtained from dried specimens. Although the leaves of members of the simple, flat-leaved group are often distinctly narrowed towards the base, there is no corresponding change in tissue type that would indicate the presence of a petiole. They are therefore considered here to be essentially sessile, and the leaf length was therefore measured from the apex to the point of attachment. The inflorescence- subtending leaves grade into involucral bracts across several very short, spirally-arranged nodes. There are several whorls of involucral bracts and the outer was considered to begin with the first bract lacking any terminal herbaceous appendage (i.e. vestigial leaf lamina). Measurements were taken, and observations made, of the outer and innermost whorls. The tepal limb was measured from the point of insertion of the filament to the tepal apex, excluding the hair tuft. Most species in the simple, flat-leaved group (including the two described here) have the distinctively shaped pollen presenter which is characteristic of the genus. This comprises four, more or less, well-defined zones. The style expands gradually into the usually, narrowly obovoid, basal portion of the pollen presenter, which terminates abruptly in a narrow constriction. Above the constriction is a short bulge, and above that a tapering, usually longitudinally grooved and viscid, portion referred to here as the receptor. It is to the receptor that most of the pollen adheres in newly opened flowers. At the apex of the receptor is the rather dilated stigma. Four separate measurements of the pollen presenter were included in the descriptions below: the length of basal portion (from the point at which the style expands to the base of the constriction), the length of the receptor (from the top of the bulge to the stigma inclusive), the length of the pollen presenter in its entirety and the width at its widest point (which is either at the top of the basal portion or the bulge). The distribution maps were compiled using DIVA-GIS Version 5.2.0.2 and based on PERTH specimen data. Taxonomy Isopogon panduratus Hislop & Rye, sp. nov. Isopogon axillari affinis sed inflorescentiis grandioribus floribus numerosis, pollinis praebitoris longioribus, pilis tepalorum longioribus densioribus differt. M. Hislop & B.L.Rye, Two new, glaucous-leaved species of Isopogon 171 Typus: Garabaldi Willis Rd, [Tathra National Park], 1.6 km S of Eneabba–Carnamah Rd, [E of Eneabba], Western Australia, 16 July 2000, M. Hislop 2041 (holo: PERTH 05815266 (sheet 1), PERTH 05815274 (sheet 2); iso: CANB, MEL). Robust, spreading shrubs to c. 2.0 m high and 1.5 m wide, with a fire-sensitive rootstock. Young branchlets distinctly ribbed to almost smooth, pale brown to reddish-brown, the older wood grey, with a sparse to moderately dense indumentum of soft, variously orientated, straight or ± curled, tubercle-based hairs often of mixed lengths, the longest to c. 1.2 mm long. Leaves simple, entire, usually glaucous at least when fresh, variously orientated between patent and steeply antrorse; apex mucronate; lamina narrowly obovate in the upper 2/3–3/4 of its length, above a long attenuate, petiole-like portion which gradually expands again towards the base, 35–125(–150) mm long, 3–19 mm wide, ± flat to shallowly or deeply concave adaxially, straight to prominently incurved along the longitudinal axis, thick, with indistinct venation, apart sometimes from the midrib, ± hairy when young with a similar tubercle-based indumentum to that of the branchlets, but soon glabrescent, leaving the surfaces finely tuberculate. Inflorescence globose or depressed-globose, 18–30 mm diam., (30–)40–70(–105)-flowered, terminal or axillary, sessile, subtended by, and the basal portion partially obscured by, the expanded leaf bases, solitary or several grouped together in clusters. Involucral bracts in 3–5 whorls; the outer bracts broadly ovate, ovate or obovate, 6.8–12.5 mm long, 3.3–6.7 mm wide, abaxial surface appressed-hairy throughout or at least in upper half, whitish if densely hairy but otherwise often purple-tinted, the colour fading to brown in old dried specimens, adaxial surface with a zone of appressed hairs towards the apex, otherwise glabrous, apex mucronate or obtuse, margins ciliate; the inner bracts narrowly obovate or narrowly panduriform, 9.1–13.5 mm long, 1.3–2.3 mm wide, abaxial surface densely appressed-hairy in upper 1/2–2/3, either glabrous below or with a few coarse crinkled hairs, adaxial surface with a zone of appressed hairs towards the apex, glabrous below, apex acute, margins ciliate, usually throughout, but sometimes only in the upper half.

    DRYANDRA STUDY GROUP NEWSLETTER NO. 32 Dryandra lindleyana subs p. sylvestris ISSN: 0728-1 51X FEBRUARY, 1997 SOCIETY FOR GROWING AUSTRALIAN PLANTS DRYANDRA STUDY GROUP LEADER NEWSLETTER EDITOR Mrs. Margaret Pieroni Mr Tony Cavanagh 16 CaIpin Crescent 16 Woodlands Drive ATTADALE OCEAN GROVE W.A. 6156 VIC 3226 Welcome to our first Newsletter for 1997. 1 hope that your garden is faring a little better than mine. Our January was the hottest and driest on record and February is shaping up the same way. I know 'that Perth has also had many very hot days and I wonder how everyone's dryandras are surviving. I've lost a lot of small seedlings (maybe Autumn is the best time to grow dryandras, even in southern Victoria) although everything in the garden apart from one D.nervosu has so far survived. I'd be interested in reports on how your dryandras have handled this summer, in particular information on species which appear to be especially reliable. I have not paginated this newsletter in the usual way because of the various sections you might wish to remove. Margaret has prepared an excellent summary of the main characteristics of that (now) very confasing group of dryandras in subgenus Niveae. Together with the leaf prints, this should help make recognition of many of these species a little easier. New member David Lightfoot has given us another index to compliment the excellent species index prepared by David Randall. Thanks, David, I'm sure that everyone will find it helpful. Just looking through it, I was surprised at just how many topics we'd covered in the 31 issues of the Newsletter up to now.

  • New Species, New Combinations and Other Name Changes in Hakea (Proteaceae)
    J. Adelaide Bot. Gard. 13: 95-110 (1990) NEW SPECIES, NEW COMBINATIONS AND OTHER NAME CHANGES IN HAKEA (PROTEACEAE) R.M. Barker C/- State Herbarium, Botanic Gardens, North Terrace, Adelaide, 5000. Abstract Six new taxa of Hakea are described from the south-west region of Western Australia; these are H. psilorrhyncha and H obliqua ssp. parviflora, H pendens, H newbeyana, H bicornata and H horrida. The new combinations made here are H teretifolia ssp. hirsuta (Endl.) R.M.Barker, H pandanicanta ssp. crassifolia (Meissn.) R.M.Barker, H spathulata (Benth.) R.M.Barker, and H longillora (Benth.) R.M.Barker. H drupacea (Gaertn.f.) Roemer & Schultes and H. denticulata R. Br. are earlier names which must replace H suaveolens R. Br. and H rubnflora Lamont respectively, while H. lasiocarpha R. Br. replaces H dolichostyla Diels. H brownii Meissn. is a distinct species separate from H baxteri, while H roeiBenth. is a synonym of H. pandanicarpa ssp. crassifolia. Introduction The following new species, new combinations and name changes in Hakea arose from a joint revision of the genus undertaken by Dr W.R. Barker, Dr L. Haegi and the author of this paper. While a primary aim of the project was to prepare a treatment of Hakea for the Flora of Australia project, a full revision is planned. The restrictions on length of descriptions within the Flora of Australia has led to the new species being described here together with a discussion of their relationships. New combinations have been made and justified here and the reasons for changes in the names of some familiar species are also discussed.

    INTERIM RECOVERY PLAN NO. 108 Herbaceous plant assemblages on bentonite lake beds (Vegetation Types 1,2,3&7) and margins (Vegetation Types 4,5&6) of the Watheroo- Marchagee region Interim Recovery Plan 2002-2007 Sheila Hamilton-Brown Photograph: Sheila Hamilton-Brown July 2002 Department of Conservation and Land Management Western Australian Threatened Species and Communities Unit PO Box 51, Wanneroo, WA 6946 FOREWORD Interim Recovery Plans (IRPs) are developed within the framework laid down in Department of Conservation and Land Management (the Department) Policy Statements Nos. 44 and 50. IRPs outline the recovery actions that are required to urgently address those threatening processes most affecting the ongoing survival of threatened taxa or ecological communities, and begin the recovery process. The Department is committed to ensuring that Critically Endangered, and where appropriate and feasible, other threatened ecological communities are conserved through the preparation and implementation of Recovery Plans or Interim Recovery Plans and by ensuring that conservation action commences as soon as possible and always within one year of endorsement of that rank by the Minister. This Interim Recovery Plan will operate from July 2002 to June 2007 but will remain in force until withdrawn or replaced. It is intended that, if the ecological community is still ranked Critically Endangered, this IRP will be reviewed after five years and the need for a full Recovery Plan assessed. This IRP was approved by the Director of Nature Conservation on 24 September 2002. The provision of funds identified in this Interim Recovery Plan is dependent on budgetary and other constraints affecting the Department, as well as the need to address other priorities.
