Abstract

We report Pleuridium nervosum and Pseudotaxiphyllum pohliaecarpum as new to the Australian Wet Tropics bioregion, and Fabronia brachyphylla and Pleuridium nervosum as new to the adjacent Einasleigh Uplands bioregion. We also report significant range extensions for other species, and new records of several very rare species.
