Gompholobium glabristylum (Fabaceae), a new native pea from montane habitats in Stirling Range National Park

Abstract

In their revision of Gompholobium Sm. (Mirbelieae: Fabaceae), Chappill et al. (2008) noted that populations of G. villosum (Meisn.) Crisp from the Stirling Range differed from the typical form of the species in a number of respects. Recent field observations together with herbarium-based research have indicated that they should be recognised as a distinct species, described below, 118 years after it was first collected by Alexander Morrison in 1902.
