Abstract

Wilkins, C.F. & Trudgen, M.E. A new species of Gompholobium (Fabaceae: Mirbelieae) from the Pilbara bioregion of Western Australia. Nuytsia 22(1): 31-40 (2012). Gompholobium oreophilum C.F.Wilkins & Trudgen, a new species from the Pilbara bioregion of Western Australia, is described and compared to its close relatives G. karijini Chappill and G. polyzygum F.Muell. The different habitat preferences and the possible hybridisation between G. oreophilum and G. karijini, which is also endemic to the Pilbara, are discussed. A key and distribution maps are provided. © Department of Environment and Conservation 2012.
