Rediscovery of Tylophora linearis P.I.Forst. (Apocynaceae: Asclepiadoideae) from New South Wales, with revision of its conservation status to vulnerable

Abstract

[Newly discovered populations of Tylophora linearis (last collected in 1969) are documented from central New South Wales. An amplified description and diagnostic illustrations are provided. The conservation status of Tylophora linearis is reviewed with the recommendation that it be downgraded to Vulnerable. Tylophora linearis is newly recorded as a host-plant for the butterfly Danaus chrysippus petilia.]
