Abstract

Rye, B.L., Barrett, R.L., Barrett, M.D., Bruhl, J.J., Clarke, K.L. & Wilson, K.L. Five new species and a new combination in Cyperaceae from the Kimberley region of Western Australia. 'Nuytsia' 26: 167-184 (2015). Four new species of 'Actinoschoenus' Benth. and one new species of 'Fimbristylis' Vahl are described from the north Kimberley region of Western Australia: 'A. glabrispiculus' Rye, R.L.Barrett & M.D.Barrett, 'A. pentagonus' Rye, R.L.Barrett & M.D.Barrett, 'A. quadricostatus' Rye, R.L.Barrett & M.D.Barrett, 'A. ramosus' Rye, R.L.Barrett & M.D.Barrett, and 'F. helicophylla' Rye, R.L.Barrett & M.D.Barrett. One new combination is made: 'A. arthrostyloides' (W.Fitzg.) K.L.Clarke, K.L.Wilson & J.J.Bruhl. Several of these species have very restricted distributions and are of conservation concern. Two species also occur in the western Northern Territory. All of these taxa have previously been listed on Western Australia's plant census under phrase names. All species are illustrated. A revised key to species of 'Actinoschoenus' in the Kimberley region is provided.
