Abstract
The genus Planchonia Blume is reviewed for Australia with two species recognised. Planchonia rupestris R.L. Barrett is described as a new species apparently endemic to the sandstone plateaux of the Kimberley region of Western Australia. Lectotypes are designated for Cumbia australis Britten, Planchonia crenata Miers and Planchonia arborea var. australis Benth., each of which are synonyms of Planchonia careya (F.Muell.) Kunth. Illustrations, distribution maps and a key to the Australian species are presented.
Acknowledgments
Matt Barrett is thanked for comments that improved the manuscript and for assistance in the field. I thank Kevin Kenneally for his comments and observations of Planchonia in the Kimberley region and for challenging me in 1992 to figure out how the sandstone taxon differed from P. careya. Alex George is thanked for locating and scanning specimens at K whilst serving as ABLO and for correcting the Latin diagnosis. Ian Cowie is thanked for checking specimens at DNA and providing comments thereon, confirming that no NT specimens at DNA match P. rupestris. Neville Marchant and staff at PERTH, Jim Ross and staff at MEL, Jo Palmer and Brendan Lepschi at CANB are all thanked for assistance and access to collections. The library staff at MEL are thanked for their assistance in locating early literature. Thanks to Vicki Noble at BM for supplying scanned images of Type specimens at BM. Katinka Ruthrof is thanked for proofreading the manuscript. Two anonymous reviewers are thanked for their comments, which improved the manuscript. The Friends of Kings Park are thanked for the provision of a travel scholarship, which enabled a visit to CANB and NSW.
