Abstract
One new species of Lindernia All. is described (L. yarun Wannan) from south-eastern Queensland. The following three species of Lindernia are newly recognised for Queensland: L. clausa (F.Muell.) F.Muell., L. procumbens (Krock.) Philcox and L. rotundifolia (L.) Alston. Illustrations of flowers, fruits, seeds, leaves, stem anatomy, and specimens are provided. Notes on habitat, distribution and conservation status are also provided. A key to eastern Australian species of Lindernia, Bonnaya Link & Otto and Yamazakia W.R.Barker, Y.S.Liang & Wannan is provided.
Additional keywords: Australia flora, identification key, Lindernia clausa, L. procumbens, L. rotundifolia, L. yarun, New South Wales flora, new species, Queensland flora, seed morphology, stem anatomy, taxonomy, wetland plants.
