Abstract

Sirisena, U.M., Macfarlane, T.D. and Conran, J.G. Thysanotus unicupensis (Laxmanniaceae), a new species discovered in Unicup Nature Reserve, south-west Western Australia. Nuytsia 19(2): 259-263 (2009). Thysanotus unicupensis is described as a new species from south-west Western Australia. This species shows some affinities to T. chinensis, T. formosus and T. parviflorus and is apparently localised on lateritic soils in moderately sunny areas within Jarrah/Marri (Eucalyptus marginata/Corymbia calophylla) woodlands. The key published in Flora of Australia (1987) is amended to include the new species.
