Leionema westonii L.M.Copel. & I.Telford (Rutaceae), a rare, new species endemic to montane north-eastern New South Wales, is named as new. The species appears to be allied to L. gracile (C.T.White) Paul G.Wilson and a table comparing selected attributes of the two species is presented. A map showing the distributions of both species is presented. The conservation status, habitat and phenology of the new species are discussed.
