Abstract

Thysanotus racemoides Sirisena, T.D.Macfarl. & Conran, a new species from South Australia and western Victoria is described and distinguished from the previously conspecific T. juncifolius (Salisb.) J.H.Willis & Court, the revised distribution of which is New South Wales and eastern Victoria. Descriptions, photographic plates and a map are provided for the new species and T. juncifolius. The key in the Flora of Australia is amended to accommodate the new species.
