Notes on Pimelea curviflora and P. micrantha (Thymelaeaceae, Sect. Epallage) and recognition of two new subspecies of P. curviflora

摘要

The complex comprising Pimelea curviflora R.Br, and P. micrantha F.Muell. ex Meisn. is reassessed and two new south-eastern Australian subspecies of P. curviflora, namely subsp. fusiformis N.G.Walsh & E.M.Schulz and subsp. planiticola N.G.Walsh & E.M.Schulz, are described, illustrated and mapped. Seeds have been identified as particularly useful in discriminating between members of the group and are illustrated for this purpose. Taxa previously treated as varieties of P. curviflora are elevated to subspecies, lectotypes are nominated as required, and notes on typification in the group are provided.
