Atriplex eremitis (Chenopodiaceae), a new species from northern Western Australia

Abstract

A new saltbush species from the Pilbara region of Western Australia, Atriplex eremitis Cranfield, is described and mapped. Comparisons are made to the presumed closest species, A. cinerea Poir. and A. amnicola Paul G.Wilson, and an amendment to the key to Atriplex species in Flora of Australia is provided.
