Bean, A.R. (2017). A taxonomic revision of Pimelea section Epallage (Endl.) Benth. (Thymelaeaceae) in Queensland. Austrobaileya 10(1): 1-46. Pimelea section Epallage is revised for Queensland and comprises 24 species, with eight species newly described, viz. P. approximans A.R.Bean, P. chlorina A.R.Bean, P. confertiflora A.R.Bean, P. fugiens A.R.Bean, P. gigandra A.R.Bean, P. mollis A.R.Bean, P. plurinervia A.R.Bean and P. rupestris A.R.Bean. New combinations are P. amabilis (Domin) A.R.Bean, P. leptospermoides subsp. bowmanii (Benth.) A.R.Bean and P. hirsuta subsp. elliptifolia (Threlfall) A.R.Bean. The distributions of all taxa are mapped, the newly named species are illustrated, and photographic images are provided for several species. P. altior F.Muell., P. hirsuta Meisn. and P. leptostachya Benth. are restored to species rank. Lectotypifications are provided for P. altior, P. bowmanii Benth., P. latifolia R.Br., P. leptospermoides F.Muell. and P. leptostachya Benth. A key is provided for the identification of all Pimelea species occurring in Queensland.
