Abstract

The new species Prostanthera elisabethae B.J.Conn & T.C.Wilson (Lamiaceae) is described for the first time. The distribution and abundance of this species is inadequately known, having only been collected from near Ashby, on the North Coast of New South Wales, Australia. Although very similar to P. linearis, this taxon is different by having longer pedicels. Measurements and figures accompany the description provided here to substantiate this as a new species.
