A new series of Eucalyptus L'Hérit. is defined. It includes E. lehmannii (Schau.) Benth., E. burdettiana Blakely & Steedman and E. megacovnuta C. A. Gardn. In addition, four new species (E. conferruminata, E. bennettiae, E. newbeyi and E. talyuberlup) are described. A long-standing misapprehension concerning the identity of E. lehmanniiis removed. E. macvocera Turcz. (as to type) with which E. talyubevlup and other species have been identified is shown to be synonymous with E. cornuta Labill. Four of the species of the series are lignotuberous and are therefore actually or potentially mallees. The others are small trees. All have spirally arranged adult leaves in three orthostichies (phyllotaxis (3 + I)) and seedling leaves and stems with emergent oil glands ('stellate hairs') crowned with radiately arranged unicellular hairs. The stomata of adult leaves are arranged in chains in crypts. The pith of the stem lacks oil glands. The cotyledons are forked or bilobed. The basitonic inflorescences bear sessile or subsessile flowers with horn-shaped opercula on deflexed, flattened peduncles which have multiple vascular strands. The phyllotaxis of series Lehmannianae and the form of the nectary in E. bennettiae are unique among eucalypts. All the species of the Lehmannianae are endemic to the south coastal region of Western Australia.

The Western Australia fauna of Bubocorophiina (Siphonoecetini) from the Albany area in the south to Port Hedland in the north-west, a coastal stretch of about 2000 km, is reported. One new genus and 11 new species are described: Rhinoecetes sinuduopopulus sp. nov., R. rockinghamia sp. nov., R. makritrichoma sp. nov., R. lowryi sp. nov., R. caetus sp. nov., R. karkharius sp. nov., R. wamus sp. nov., R. setosus sp. nov., Borneoecetes minimus sp. nov. (first record of Borneoecetes Barnard & Thomas, 1984 from Australia); Sinoecetes reni sp. nov. (first record of Sinoecetes Ren, 2012 from Australia), and Pararhinoecetes bicornis gen. et sp. nov. In addition, Cephaloecetes enigmaticus, previously described from the southeast coast of Australia, is recorded in the Albany area. A key to Western Australian Bubocorophiina is presented, and the distribution around Australian of the genera in the subtribe is commented upon.

This paper presents a new Altivasum found off Jurien Bay, Western Australia at 60 m. This new species expands our understanding of the distribution, and in particular extends the northern range of Altivasum, in the South-west Marine Region. Altivasum pauladellaboscae n. sp. is more rhomboidal than A. hedleyi Maxwell and Dekkers, 2019, which is elongated, and has the formation of tubular spines on the shoulder of axial fold on the later whorls of the spire; these spines are not formed in A. pauladellaboscae n sp. Altivasum pauladellaboscae n sp. differs from A. profundum Dekkers and Maxwell, 2018 in having acute shoulder nodules. The South Australian, A. flindersi Verco, 1914 lacks the fibriated subsutural band found in A. pauladellaboscae n. sp. Altivasum clarksoni Maxwell and Dekkers, 2019 is geographically isolated and morphologically distinct, being more elongated and fibriated. This paper brings the number of described Altivasum species to five

Banksia microphylla leaf fossils and Banksieaeidites zanthus pollen are newly described from late Eocene lignite of the Zanthus-11 borehole, drilled east of Norseman in Western Australia. The leaf fossils are the first known in Banksia to show extreme narrowness (<1.5 mm wide) combined with the xeromorphic trait of margins rolled onto the lower surface so that the diffusely placed stomata are exposed to the outside environment only via grooves on each side of a thick, abaxial midrib. Both this Banksia leaf type and another with encrypted stomata evolved before the widespread initiation of severe climatic aridity in the late Neogene, likely in regions of edaphic infertility and periodic water stress. New interpretations of leaf morphology and foliar evolutionary pathways in Banksia are proposed. Banksia microphylla probably belongs to subgenus Spathulatae, where it strongly resembles many species in the large, wholly Western Australian clade that includes most species in section Oncostylis, series Abietinae. Banksieaeidites zanthus is morphologically consistent with Banksia pollen, and its extremely small size also suggests placement in Spathulatae. The new fossils and other evidence from Zanthus-11 indicate the local presence of quite open, sclerophyll vegetation with conifers, which was unlikely to have been frequently burnt.

Descolea maculata sp. nov. is described, illustrated and compared with other species of the genus. A Gondwanaland/Nothofagus origin proposed for the genus is discussed in the light of the Western Australian record. Ectomycorrhizae initiated by D. maculata on roots of Eucalyptus diversicolor and E. marginata, under both aseptic and non-sterile conditions, provide confirmation of the ectomycorrhizal status of the genus Descolea. Cystidia associated with the fungal mantle are similar to those reported for other mycorrhizal fungi of eucalypts.

A New Species

A recent publication by Bruce (2008a) reported the presence of Palaemonella spinulata Yokoya, 1936 in the Dampier Archipelago, Western Australia. This report noted that “The holotype specimen from Misaki, Japan, is considered to be lost (Holthuis 1952; Bruce 1970; Okuno pers. comm.). The designation of a neotype would appear useful but one from Japanese or nearby waters would be more appropriate than one of the present specimens”. The brief description provided by Yokoya (1936), with only a single figure showing the whole specimen, antennule, antenna, mandible, second maxilliped and posterior telson, is inadequate for comparison with other species of the genus. This deficiency has now been rectified by Hayashi (2009) who has provided a detailed and well illustrated description of P. spinulata and designated a neotype from Sagami Bay, near Misaki, the type locality. This re-description immediately indicated that the Western Australian specimens were not conspecific and they are now described as a new species. The specimens are held in the collections of the Western Australian Museum, Perth.

With new material available of most stages of many known Australian Paracnephia, including new species, it is now clear that certain segregates warrant assignment to new genera. This applies to Paracnephia gladiator Moulton & Adler, a Western Australia simuliid with numerous unique character states. The species is fully redescribed and assigned to Bunyipellum nov. gen. A diagnosis is provided and relationships discussed, as is historical biogeography. Bunyipellum appears to be more closely related to elements of the South American simuliid fauna than to any other Gondwanan Australian species.

The total, hydrochloric acid soluble, and exchangeable potassium contents of two soils typical of large areas of the south-west coastal region of Western Australia and of two soils in this region which had received varying levels of potassium fertilizer were determined. It was found that all four soils were low in exchangeable K, containing less than 60 lb exchangeable K per acre in their surface three inches. One of the soils had an exchangeable K content of 0.21 m-equiv. per cent after 2 cwt KCl per acre and another 0.08 m-equiv. per cent after 1 cwt KCl per acre had been applied and satisfactory pasture growth had been made. These values are lower than those reported elsewhere for satisfactory plant growth. One soil, extremely low in exchangeable K and which responded to potassium fertilizer, was found to contain the high total K content of 1 per cent. Mineralogical examination disclosed that almost the whole of this was present as feldspar.

This paper seeks to correct the erroneous taxonomy associated with the current understanding of the Altivasum flindersi (Verco, 1914) complex based on type revision, morphological differences and geographic separation. Structurally, there are three distinct species that can be differentiated, Altivasum flindersi (Verco, 1914), A. typicum Hedley, 1916 and A. profundum sp. nov. Geographically, these species are not all sympatric, with A. typicum restricted to shallower waters, at depths around 20-180 m off the south Western Australian coast, whereas A. profundum is located at the edge of the South Western Australian continental shelf, and A. flindersi is found off the coast of the Great Australian Bight at similar depths to A. typicum. There is an overlap in distribution between A. typicum Hedley, 1916 and A. flindersi (Verco, 1914) on the western side of the Great Australian Bight where they are often associated with similar habitats.

The Western Australian genus Scholtzia Schauer (1843: 241), is one of the larger genera in the tribe Chamelaucieae of family Myrtaceae with more than 40 species, chiefly found from Carnarvon south to near Harvey and inland to Anderson Rocks, north of Hyden, northern sand plains of the South West Botanical Province and Kalbarri National Park (Rye, 2019). Recently Rye (2019), described twenty-five new species and five new subspecies. One newly described species, Scholtzia denticulata Rye (2019: 55) is illegitimate as it is a later homonym of Scholtzia denticulata F. Mueller (1864: 75).Therefore, a new replacement name is proposed here in accordance with article 53.1 of Shenzhen Code (Turland et al. 2018).
