A TAXONOMIC REVISION OF THE GENUS HUXLEYA EWART (VERBENACEAE)*

Abstract A taxonomic revision of the monotypic genus Huxleya is presented and its affinities and distribution are considered. A detailed description of the type species, H. linifolia, is supplemented by a habit sketch of a flowering branch and analytical drawings of the flower. Taxonomic History of the Genus The genus Huxleya was described b

THE DROSERA PELTATA -D. AURICULATA COMPLEX

Abstract The correct authority of Drosera pehata is shown to be Thunberg and a specimen on Herb. Thunberg 7720 (UPS) is chosen as the new lectotype of this species. D. pe/tata and D. auriculata are variable taxa which consistently intergrade in parts of their wide range. As a consequence, D. auriculata is reduced to a subspecies of D. pe/tata. A description of D. pe/tata, a key to the two subspecies and descriptions of each are presented

NOTES ON HIBBERTIA (DILLENIACEAE) 4. THE IDENTITY OF H. ENERVIA

Abstract A specimen inscribed "New Holland Gov. King" (G) is identified as the type of Pleurandra enervia DC., which is then placed into synonomy of Hibbertia procumbens (Labill.) DC. New combinations, H. hemignosta (Steud.) J.R.Wheeler and H. hibbertioides (Steud.) J.R.Wheeler, are published to replace the Western Australian species previously identified as H. enervia. History CandoIle (1817) described 41 species which are now included in the genus Hibbertia and there is a type specimen for each of them in his own herbarium except for Pleurandra enervia, the identity of which remained a problem. It was based on a King specimen in Lambert's herbarium, and this was assumed lost with the sale and distribution of that collection in June 1842

TAXONOMY AND EVOLUTION OF SE1VNA OBTUSIFOLIA AND S. TORA

Abstract The relationship between S. obtusifolia (L.)Irwin & Barneby and S. fora (L.)Roxb. is discussed. Consideration of biogeography suggests that the latter species evolved in Asia from the former
