The following 14 species are newly described: <i>Stylidium</i> <i>aliforme</i> Wege & Brennan (N.T.), <i>S.</i> <i>anomalum</i> Wege (W.A.), <i>S.</i> <i>brachyotis</i> Wege & Brennan (N.T.), <i>S.</i> <i>brennanianum</i> Wege, M.D.Barrett & A.R.Bean (W.A., N.T., Qld), <i>S.</i> <i>contrarium</i> Wege (N.T.), <i>S.</i> <i>eludens</i> Wege & A.R.Bean (Qld), <i>S.</i> <i>incognitum</i> Wege (W.A., N.T.), <i>S.</i> <i>modicum</i> M.D.Barrett, R.L.Barrett & Wege (W.A.), <i>S.</i> <i>pezidium</i> Wege, Brennan & S.J.Dillon (W.A., N.T., Qld), <i>S.</i> <i>synaptum</i> Wege, Brennan & A.R.Bean (W.A., N.T., Qld), <i>S.</i> <i>tantillum</i> Wege & Brennan (N.T.), <i>S.</i> <i>torquatum</i> Wege & Brennan (N.T.), <i>S.</i> <i>tremendum</i> Wege, M.D.Barrett & R.L.Barrett (W.A.) and <i>S.</i> <i>youwanjela</i> M.D.Barrett, R.L.Barrett & Wege (W.A.). <i>Stylidium</i> <i>tenerrimum</i> F.Muell. (W.A., N.T.) is recircumscribed and <i>S.</i> <i>evolutum</i> Carlquist (N.T.) reinstated to its original circumscription. Narrower circumscriptions of <i>S.</i> <i>fissilobum</i> F.Muell. (W.A., N.T.) and <i>S.</i> <i>multiscapum</i> O.Schwarz (W.A., N.T.) are presented and a lectotype designated for the latter. <i>Stylidium</i> <i>tenerum</i> Spreng. (N.T., Qld, P.N.G.) is placed into synonymy under <i>S.</i> <i>uliginosum</i> Sw. ex Willd. (south-east Asia), and <i>S.</i> <i>symonii</i> Carlquist (N.T.) synonymised under <i>S.</i> <i>floodii</i> F.Muell. (N.T., Qld). <i>Stylidium</i> <i>elachophyllum</i> A.R.Bean & M.T.Mathieson (Qld) and <i>S.</i> <i>irriguum</i> W.Fitzg. (W.A.) are recorded for the Northern Territory, while <i>S.</i> <i>aquaticum</i> A.R.Bean (N.T.) and <i>S.</i> <i>capillare</i> R.Br. (N.T., Qld) are recorded for Western Australia. A record of <i>S.</i> <i>longibracteatum</i> (W.A.) from Kata Tjuta in the Northern Territory is highlighted as having potentially unreliable locality information. Lectotypes are selected for <i>S.</i> <i>claytonioides</i> W.Fitzg., <i>S.</i> <i>cordifolium</i> W.Fitzg., <i>S.</i> <i>irriguum</i> W.Fitzg., <i>S.</i> <i>rubriscapum</i> W.Fitzg. and <i>S.</i> <i>trichopodum</i> F.Muell. Both <i>S.</i> <i>pseudotenellum</i> O.Schwartz and <i>S.</i> <i>mitrasacmoides</i> F.Muell. are treated as names of uncertain application. The existence of appropriated type fragments in Herbarium Lowrieanum, recently bequeathed to the Western Australian Herbarium, is noted. </div> </div> </div> <h3 class="h4 mt-3"> Key to the Triggerplants of the Northern Territory (<i>Stylidium</i>: Stylidiaceae) </h3> <p class="mb-2 p-0"><span class="text-nowrap">WEGE, J.A.<sup><a href="https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7312-3840"><i class="fa-brands fa-orcid"></i></a></sup></span> AND <span class="text-nowrap">BRENNAN, K.G.</span>, <em>Nuytsia</em> <span class="text-decoration-underline">35</span>: 199–216 (2024)</p> <div class="btn-group mb-0" role="group" aria-label="Article navigation buttons"> <button class="btn btn-light" type="button" data-bs-toggle="collapse" data-bs-target="#a1078" aria-expanded="false" aria-controls="a1078">Abstract</button> <a class="btn btn-light" href="/nuytsia/article/1078">Details</a> <a class="btn btn-light" href="/science/nuytsia/1078.pdf">PDF</a> </div> <div id="a1078" class="collapse"> <div class="card bg-transparent border-light-subtle"> <div class="card-body"> An annotated dichotomous key and photographic guide to <i>Stylidium</i> Sw. ex Willd. in the Northern Territory is provided. <i>Stylidium</i> <i>gemmatum</i> Wege & Brennan is formally described, and <i>S.</i> <i>stenophyllum</i> A.R.Bean placed into synonymy under a broadly circumscribed <i>S.</i> <i>pachyrrhizum</i> F.Muell. </div> </div> </div> </main> <div class="col-lg-4 order-2 order-lg-1"> <div class="card bg-light mt-5 mt-lg-0"> <img src="/nuytsia/images/cover-v35.jpg" class="img-fluid card-img-top" title="The cover for Volume 35 features Stirlingia latifolia (Proteaceae), a wind-pollinated species with both male and hermaphrodite flowers, which is endemic to south-western Australia.
