The B. Ianuginosaspecies complex is found from King Sound(WA) to Wollogorang(NT) (Figurel) andconsists ofan uncertainnumber oftaxa. Morphologicalvariation within the complex is analysednumerically, using phenetic methods. Leafanatomy and ontogeny, and the taxonomic status of thefour availablenames within the complex (vL. B. afinis, B. evtenisifolia,B. artemisiifoliavar. wilsonii,and B. Ianuginosa)are discussed.
TheB. flicifolia speciescomplex is endemicto theKimberley Region and consists offour species thatare morphologically and geographically distinct. Wheeler (1992) recognized a numberofforms withinB. Jilicifoliatncludingthe Mitchell River (and t5.pe) form and a Kalumburu form (8. kalumburuensis, seebelow). A third form,from the OsmondPlateau, is describedbelow as B. minutipinna.Boroniq pauciflorais alsoplaced in thisspecies complex (Duretto 1995; Duretto & Ladigesin prep.).
Thethird speciescomplex consists ofthree rare species, B. decumbens (NT), B. jucunda (W A) and, B. tolerans(NT),that are newly described below.
To completethe revisi.on of Boroniain theNorthern Tenitory and the Kimberley Region, taxa are lectotypifiedwhere necessary (including B. lanceolata)and B. rupicolais d.escribedasnew, Boronia lanceolataandB. ruprcolaare more ciosely related to eastcoastmembers ofBolonia sectionValyatae thanto otherspecies in north-westernAustralia (Duretto 1995; Duretto & Ladigesin prep.).At thefinal stagesofmanuscriptpreparation a 1995 collection (l R.C/a/ kson 1047 3) fromnorth -west Queensland, nearthe NorthernTeffitory border, came to the authors'attention. The specimen is of a previously unknowntaxon that has affinities with B, alulataBenth.of CapeYork (Durettosubmitted; Duretto & Ladigesin prep.),and so will bedescribed in a forthcomingpaper that deals with Queenslandmembers of Boroniasection Valvatae (DuretIo submitted). As thisspecies is sympatricwith B. lanceolata(in Queensland)itwilf beincludedin thekey as Boroniaaff .alulqta(NWQld, C/artro n10473). AllBoronia speciesfound in theNorthemTerritory, the Kimberley Region, and north-west Queensland are placed in section Valvatae.
TheNorthern Territory and Kimberley floras are treated here as a single unit for anumberofreasons. Firstly, apart frorn B. lqnceolqtaand B. rupicola, cladisticanalysis shows that all taxa form a monophyleticgroup defined bythe following synapomorphies: the calyx being as large as or largerthan the corolla,the antesepalousanther being significantly smaller than the antepetalous anther, and the filamentshape (Duretto 1995; Duretto & Ladigesin prep.).Secondly, the boronias ofthis regionare widely separatedfrom the eastcoast, South Australian, and south-west Westem Australian members "Top of Valyatae.Thirdly, and finally, the region covering the End"ofthe Northern Tenitory and the Kimberleyregion is oftenrecognized as being a distinctbiogeographic region or a numberofclosely relatedregions; that is, regions that share arecent history (see Specht 1958b;Kikkawa & pearse1969; Hnatiuk& Pedley1985; Cowie &Finlayson 1986;Cracraft 1991;Dunlop & Webb 199l.,Crisp eta\,1995 Duretto1995; Duretto & Ladigesin prep.).
The boundariesfor thesebiogeographic units, at leastfor Boronia,rotghly correspondto the boundariesofthree geological basins(as outlinedby Plumb& Derrick 1975;Plumb e/al 1980;c.S.W.A. 1990):the McArthur fuver Basin which extends liom Mtlsa(north-westQueensland)totheArnhemLand Plateauand surrounds (northem andwestemNT);the VictoriaRiverBasin, especiallythenorth-western heavilyfaulted area, which includes an area liom thewestemNorthemTeritorytotheOrdRiver(WA); and,the Kimberley Basin includingthe neighbouring King Leopold and Halls Creek orogens ormobile plates.These basins are characterized by Precambriansandstones. :

Dataanalysis
All datasets were analysed using PATN (Belbin l9 87)following the methodology outlined in Duretto (1995)and Duretto& Ladigcs(1997). Datawererange-standardized befbre Manhattan dissimilarity measureswere calculatcd. For clusteranalysis, both flexiblc U PGMA (unweightedpair grouparithmetic averages)and flexible wPGMA (weightedpair group arithmeticaverages) wcre utilizedas tusion strategies.Data were ordinated in thrcedimensions using the m ultidimensional scaling, MDS, KYSP algorithm(Kruskalet at.1913). Thc HybridoptionofFaith etal. (1987)was choscn. fwenty different randomstarting points were used fbr eachanalysis and the run with the loweststress value is shown. charactefcorrelations with the ordinationvectors wcre calculated using the PCCfunction ofPATN. Minimum spanningtrees,MST, werealso calculated Three analyscs were completed

Analysis2 (specimensl-43, characters3, 5-7,l4)
Two groups,A and B, were recognizedin Analysis l. Group A was re-analysed,that is specimens -43, I andcharacters3, 5-7 and 14to seewhether more groups were discernible. uniform charact€rswere deletedprior to re-analysis.

Taxonomicintcrpretation and conclusions
On the basisofthe aboveanalyses (Figures 2-6) two taxa, correspondingto Groups A (specimens l -43, 57-105) and B (specimens44-56), are recognized atthe specific level. Group A includesallNorthern Tenitory andWeaber Range specimens (exceptspecimen 54). GroupB includesallKimberley specimens (except42)and a lower Victoria River specimen(54).
ThetypesofB. affinisandB. lanuginosarepresentextremeforms betweenwhich there are specimens with agradeofindumentum densities (Figure 7A-H, J). Theanatomy ofleaves (Figure 8) fiom seedlings, and glabrousand hirsuteflowering plantsare structurally similar, The type material for both taxa was collectedfrom the samegeneral area and collectionsmade by RobertBrown possessvarying degrees ofhirsuteness. In fact, there are specimensofB. Ianuginosa with denseindumentums collected by Brown at BM that originatedfrom Vanderlin Island (Figure I ). This lsland is one ofthe type localities of B. afrnis. It would appearthat Bentham( 1863)described B. ffinis from severalof the lesshirsute specimensthatBrown collected.Here it is proposedthat the type material of B. afinis and,B.lanuginosa representdifferent ontogeneticstages ofthe sametaxon, juvenile and mature respectively, and as '009 ,LN.uarq (t"t) Ogtx pun (H-y) oZX :sbp.S (tEW ojtalne elooloxog)unluelunpur etslloN esuep ! qll^\'llsl ru ,lueldSuuo^\og e LuoqJncl- (Ng,,g6l Iey{ s s!

Notes.ThoughB.lanuginosaisknownfrom Westem Austmlia(one collection),the Kimberley species refertedtoas B. lanuginosabyGreet(1985), Hnatiuk ( 1990)and Wheeler (1992) is more than likely to be B. wilsonii.
White(1942), Hnatiuk (1990) and Henderson (1994) state th at B. Ianuginosahasbeen collected in 'B. the Cookdistrict ofQueensland. The collection cited by White, artemesiq.efolie:The Gorge, Mt Mttlligan,Dr. H. F lecker,2 Apr . 1934 (BRl)', andprobably referred to bythe others, is the first published recordofan undescribed species that is s istetto B. alulata (Duretto 1995, submitted; Duretto & Ladiges inprep.).
The Wamindilyakwapeople of croote Eylandtcall B. IanuginosaEngbajengbaja, and use a preparationmade from the leavesto treatheadaches, body aches and pains, and chest colds (Levitt l98l ).Thisis oneofthe few recordeduses of a memberof sectionValvataeby indigenous people.

Distribution. Occurs in a restricted areanear BiddlecombeCascades, Nitmiluk National Park, the Northem Territory. (Figure 12)
Habitat. Found growing on deep sandin a eucalyptwoodland on the plateautop.
Phenologt. Flowering and fiuiting matedal collectedin June.
Conservqtionstcttus. A codeof2VC+ is appropriateas this speciesis only known, with certainty,ftom one small population neara walking track. This populationis isolatedfrom, but near,a hybrid swarm betweenB. tolerans andB. Ianuginosa, Boroniq tolerqns could be in dangerofgenetic swamping by hybridization andintrogression (see Rhymer & Simberloff 1996).
Etymolog/, The name is derived fromtheLatin, tolerarJ - tolerant,and is namedin recognitionofthe great mental hardship sufferedby Dr Greg Howell on the day this specieswas collectedin the field.
Afiinities. Closely relatedtoB. jucundafromwhich itcan be distinguishedby havingup to sevenpinnae per leaf, andthe smoothstems. Distinguished from D. Ianuginosabythe sessile,isobilateral leaves with few hairs,and the smallerflowers.
1{o/er. On€ oftwo speciesintheD. lanuginosa speciesgroup that have isobilateralleaves, the other being B. jucunda.
Possiblehybrids belweer.Boronia tolerans and B, lanuginosa were observednear Biddlecombe Cascadesin Nitmiluk National Park. Plantsof B. lanuginosa(Duretto 522-4) andB. tolerans(Duretto 517-21)were growing besidesandstone outcrops and on nearbysandy flats respectively. Six putative hybrids(Duretto 525,536) were growing in an intermediatehabitatofsandwith a largenumberofrocks and had flowers that were vaxiouslylarger and hairier than th oseof B. tolerqns,but smallerthan those of B. Ianuginosa.Flowerand leafmorphologyis variablein thes€plantsas might be expectedin a hybrid population. The leavesofone ofthe hybrids aredorsiventral with prominently raisedabaxialmidribs, which is similaxto the leafanatomy ofB. lanuginosa.(Figure 8)

Fitzgerald(1918) cited only oneofhis own collectionswhen d escribingB. paucllora. T\e majorityofFitzgerald's collectionsarenow lodgedat BM, E, NSW andPERTH (Short 1990,1993), and a largeportion ofhis Kimberley materialwas receivedby PERTH viathe WestemAustralian Museum (Kenneally1986). Specimens matchingthe collection citedby Fitzgerald (1918) haYe been located at PERTH, K and NSW. As the PERTH specimenis in better conditionthan the other two seen,and it is unlikely that a better specimenexists elsewhere, it is chosenhere asthe lectotype. Alrtnifies. Fitzgeruld (1918) thought B. Pauciflorqrobe aloselyrelated to B. grandisepala,probably becauseboth are simple-leaved. Weston e/ a/. (1984) also suggestedaffinities between thesetwo specieswhen they combinedthem when scoringfor their cladistic analysisof Boronia and Boronella Baill. A more detailedcladistic analysisof Boronia sectionValvatqe places this speciessister to the B../ilicifolia speciesgroup on a number of leaf, flower and seedcharacters (Duretto 1995; Duretto & Ladigesin prep,). Notes.ThePrince Regent Rivermaterial (Crnen92l2et al)differs from the King Leopold(type locality) and Edkins Rangesmaterial in having a greaterhair density on the branches,longer anthopodia(on average),less acuminate sepals, and less hirsute staminal filaments Someofthe PrinceRegent River matefialhas trifoliolate leaves, i.e. specimens lodged at A, cANB andMEL, Th€trifoliolate leaves are difficult to discernas the leavesare sessile, and the lateralpinnae are much smaller than the terminal pinnae.This variation,along with the disjunctdistribution, could be usedto supportan argumentfor taxonomicrecogn ition ofthe northern Prince Regent River population. It wouldbe prematureto do so, asthe Craven9212 collection from thePrince Regent River area consists ofseedlings or youngplants That is,the variationseen may representan ontogeneticdevelopmental sequence and the plantsmay bedisplaying somejuvenile features, It issuggested that the popu lation be monitored and sampled over a periodofyears to determinewhether or not the variationis geneticor ontogenetic. The taxonrefered to asB. ? paucifloraby Forbes& Kenneally( 1986)and Woirnarski ( 1992)is B. jucunda (see above). 7. Boroniafilicifolia A. Cunn.ex Benth.,Fl.

Occasionally the leavesof B. Ianceolatq are ananged in whorls of three insteadof the normal condition in Boroma, oppositeand dec\ssate(e.9. Dunlop 4712, Fensham869). Th is is not unusual in plantswith oppositedecussate leaves (A.N. Drinnan pers.com.) and hasalso been observed in other boronias,such as .8. rosmarinifolia A. Cunn.ex Endl. (Duretto 1995). Usually the secondarybranches have the normal opposite decussatecondition. 'Cave Bailey (1899) referred a north Queenslandspecimen, Creek, WE Armit (FvM.)', to B. Ianceolata. Collectionsfrom this locality havebeen located at MEL (in Mueller'sherbarium) and can be confidently assig\edto B. bowmanii F.Muell. (thesespecimens are annotatedas B. lanceolat.t yar. pinnata, an tlrrpvblished nam e). Hnatiuk (1990) statesthat B. lanceolatahasbeen collected in theNorth Kennedy and Cook Districts ofQueensland. The Cook District record is probably referring to Bailey (1899). TheNorth Kennedy recordmay be due to one ortwo undescribedspecies of Boronia fromthe humidWetTropics (both with large,simple leaves which willbe describedin alaterpaper)that have been inconectly assignedto B. lqnceoletcr, Somenovel alkaloids have been isolated,from B, lanceolcttaby Ahsonet al.
