A taxonomic revision of carmichaelia (fabaceae — galegeae) in New Zealand (part II)

Abstract

Eight species are recognised in the second part of a revision of Carmichaelia. These are C. appressa, C. arbarea, C. australis, C. hollowayi, C. kirkii, C odorata, C. petriei, and C. williamsii. Carmichaelia arborea is the earliest name for plants previously known as C grandiflora. Carmichaelia odorata includes C angustata and C. glabrata in synonymy, and C australis is the earliest name for the widespread shrubby broom which previous authors have segregated into numerous species, including C aligera, C. flagelliformis, C. ovata, and C. robusta. Synonymy, descriptions, distribution maps, habitats, variation, and illustrations are presented. Conservation status is discussed for C. appressa, C hollowayi, C. kirkii, and C williamsii. © 1996 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
