“…Green abandoned his studies of Micromyrtus in the late 1980s and no further publications appeared until additional eastern Australian species of Micromyrtus species were described by Hunter et al (1996) and Bean (1997). Interest in Corynanthera was renewed when work on Western Australian species of Micromyrtus led to two publications (Rye 2002(Rye , 2006 in which the morphology of Corynanthera was compared with Micromyrtus, uncovering some additional unique characters in Corynanthera (see Notes below).…”

“…These surveys have resulted in extensions of ranges for a number of highly restricted species and the discovery of many new taxa (Hunter et al 1996;Hunter 1997;Hunter 1998;Hunter & Copeland 2001). During a flora survey of Mt Mackenzie Nature Reserve (by one of us -JTH), specimens were collected of a Prostanthera growing amongst heath plants within crevices of a single granite outcrop.…”

A population of Prostanthera staurophylla was recently rediscovered in the Mt Mackenzie area near Tenterfield on the Northern Tablelands of New South Wales. A detailed morphological comparison of these plants with the previously known population occurring in the Torrington area revealed that the populations were morphologically sufficiently distinct from each other to be recognised as separate species. Prostanthera teretifolia is reinstated as a distinct species, separate from P. staurophylla. The former species occurs near Torrington, whereas, P. staurophylla is restricted to the Mt Mackenzie area near Tenterfield. Descriptions, botanical illustrations and comments on the conservation status of each species are provided. IntroductionThe staff of the Northern Tablelands Region of the New South Wales National Parks and Wildlife Service (Department of Environment and Conservation) have been conducting floristic and vegetation inventories of the reserves within their care since 1997. These surveys have resulted in extensions of ranges for a number of highly restricted species and the discovery of many new taxa (Hunter et al. 1996;Hunter 1997;Hunter 1998;Hunter & Copeland 2001). During a flora survey of Mt Mackenzie Nature Reserve (by one of us -JTH), specimens were collected of a Prostanthera growing amongst heath plants within crevices of a single granite outcrop. Although this plant was tentatively identified as Prostanthera staurophylla (sensu lato -as circumscribed by Conn 1992), an initial comparison of the morphological features of these plants, with those that occur in the Torrington area, suggested that they were distinct. † Deceased 31 July 2005

“…Since 1980, all of the 25 species of Micromyrtus known from central and eastern Australia have been treated in revisions or other taxonomic works (Bean 1996;Green 1980Green , 1983bHunter et al 1996;Wilson 1991). Green's studies of the genus in south-western Australia were never completed, but he did erect a monotypic genus, Corynanthera J.W.…”

A revision of the south-western Australian species of Micromyrtus (Myrtaceae) with five antisepalous ribs on the hypanthium

Rye, B.L. A revision of south-western Australian species of Micromyrtus (Myrtaceae) with five antisepalous ribs on the hypanthium. Nuytsia 15(1): 101-122 (2002). Among the species currently included in Micromyrtus Benth., two main categories are distinguished here on the basis of hypanthium ribbing, one characterised by having antipetalous ribs and usually also antisepalous ones, the other by having antisepalous ribs but no antipetalous ones. Most species belong to the latter category, including the lectotype selected here for the genus, Micromyrtus drummondii Benth. nom. superfl. [= M. obovata (Turcz.) J.W. Green]. A key is given to the 14 Western Australian members of this group, and the eight south-western species, including five new species, are revised. Micromyrtus erichsenii Hemsl. is reinstated and the new species M. monotaxis Rye, M. ninghanensis Rye, M. papillosa J.W. Green ex Rye, M. rogeri J.W. Green ex Rye and M. uniovula Rye are illustrated. Three of these new species have an ovule number of one, lower than any previously recorded for the genus, and four of them have conservation priority.
