Abstract

Two narrowly endemic, endangered species of Melichrus R.Br. from north-eastern New South Wales currently bearing phrase names are formally named and described. Melichrus hirsutus J.B.Williams ex H.T.Kenn. & I.Telford is validly published more than 50 years after the first herbarium specimens were collected. Melichrus gibberagee J.B.Williams ex H.T.Kenn. & J.J.Bruhl is also described as new. Notes are provided on the distribution, habitat and conservation status of both species. An updated key to the species of Melichrus in New South Wales is provided.
