“…Since Les Pedley (dec.) commenced his revision of Tephrosia in Australia in the 1970s, 11 new taxa have been formally described from Western Australia (Pedley 1977;Maconochie 1980;Cowie 2004;Butcher & Hurter 2012;Butcher 2018aButcher , 2018bButcher , 2020. Of these, four extend across the Australian Monsoon Tropics (AMT) (sensu Bowman et al 2010) from the Kimberley region (i.e.…”

Two new, orange-flowered Tephrosia (Fabaceae: Millettieae) species from the Kimberley region, in Western Australia’s monsoon tropics

Butcher, R. Two new, orange-flowered Tephrosia (Fabaceae: Millettieae) species from the Kimberley region, in Western Australia's monsoon tropics. Nuytsia 32: 39-50 (2021). Ongoing taxonomic revision of Tephrosia Pers. in Australia is continuing to identify new taxa from study of existing herbarium collections as well as new material gathered from remote and under-collected areas. The Kimberley region of Western Australia is recognised for its biodiversity and endemism, but the recognition of new species is hampered by its inaccessibility, especially to areas of relief with complex microhabitats and refugia. It is from these areas that many recently described species, from across the Western Australian flora, have been collected. This paper describes and illustrates two new, poorly known, orange-flowered species of Tephrosia from the Kimberley region: T. cowiei R.Butcher, a close ally of the Northern Territory's T. bifacialis Cowie, and T. funicularis R.Butcher, a distinctive new species from sandstone habitats.

“…The most recent comprehensive treatment of the genus in Australia is that of Bentham (1864), who recognised 23 species. Since then additional species have been described by Mueller (1875Mueller ( , 1879Mueller ( , 1880Mueller ( , 1883, Domin (1912Domin ( , 1926, Fitzgerald (1918) and more recently Pedley (1977), among others. Bosman & de Haas (1983) revised the genus for Malesia, with several species from that area also occurring in northern Australia.…”

New species and lectotypifications of some reticulate-nerved Tephrosia (Fabaceae) from north-west Australia and the genus Paratephrosia re-evaluated

Cowie. I.D. New species and lectotypifications of some reticulate-nerved Tephrosia Pers. (Fabaceae) from north-west Australia and the genus Paratephrosia re-evaluated. Nuytsia 15(2):163-186 (2004). Eight new species of reticulate-nerved Tephrosia are described from the Kimberley Region of Western Australia and the Northern Territory (T. andrewii Cowie, Tephrosia bifacialis Cowie, T. carriemichelliae Cowie, T. ephippioides Cowie, T. gyropoda Cowie, T. humifusa Cowie, T. procera Cowie, and T. valleculata Cowie). Paratephrosia is reduced to synonymy under Tephrosia and a new name, Tephrosia lasiochlaena Cowie, is published for P. lanata. Lectotypifications are provided for six reticulate-nerved and allied taxa of Tephrosia (T.
