Hydrocotyle corynophora F.Muell. (Araliaceae), a rare species endemic to Western Australia, was recently rediscovered in the field and in the Western Australian herbarium (PERTH) collection. Prior to these rediscoveries, little was known about the extant nature of this species, since its description by Ferdinand von Mueller in 1890. In light of the availability of new voucher material held at PERTH, an updated description is provided, along with descriptions of habitat, phenology and a formal citation of Mueller’s holotype held at the National Herbarium of Victoria (MEL).
The University of Sydney acknowledges that its campuses and facilities sit on the ancestral lands of Aboriginal and
Torres Strait Islander peoples, who have for thousands of generations exchanged knowledge for the benefit of all.
