Abstract

The genus Dracophyllum Labill. is revised, with a total of 61 species being recognised in four subgenera and two species (Dracophyllum minimum F.Muell. and D. strictum Hook.f.) are listed as incertae sedis. The genus Richea R.Br. is reduced to synonymy under Dracophyllum where it is divided into two new subgenera, namely, Dracophyllum subgenus Cystanthe (R.Br.) S.Venter and D. subgenus Richea (R.Br.) S.Venter. Replacement names published here are Dracophyllum laciniatum S.Venter, D. persistentifolium S.Venter and D. tasmanicum S.Venter, and new combinations published here are Dracophyllum alpinum (Menadue) S.Venter, D. continentis (B.L.Burtt) S.Venter, D. desgrazii (Hombr. ex Decne.) S.Venter, D. gunnii (Hook.f.) S.Venter, D. pandanifolia (Hook.f.) S.Venter, D. procerum (F.Muell.) S.Venter, D. sprengelioides (R.Br.) S.Venter and D. victorianum (Menadue) S.Venter. Nomenclature, descriptions, illustrations, photographs and distribution maps are provided for each species and lectotypes are designated where necessary. A key to the subgenera and keys to species within these are provided.
