Abstract

Hopper, S.D., Smith, R.J. & Hickman, E.J. An annotated checklist of Haemodoraceae, including new taxa and new combinations. Nuytsia 36: 141–238 (2025). In order to provide an up-to-date checklist of Haemodoraceae informed by published and forthcoming molecular phylogenetics, we describe the following new taxa and make new combinations as follows: Haemodorum subg. Gemina Hopper & R.J.Sm., H. subg. Antiqua Hopper & R.J.Sm., H. sandifordiae Hopper & E.J.Hickman, H. clarksoniiHopper & E.J.Hickman, H. ghungalorum Hopper, Paradilatris (Hopper ex J.C.Manning) Hopper, Paradilatris viscosa (L.f.) Hopper, Wachendorfia laxa W.F.Barker ex Hopper, Conostylis subg. Appendicula (Geer.) Hopper, C. subg. Divaricata (Hopper) Hopper, C. sect. Terraflora Hopper, C. glabra Hopper, C. magna Hopper, C. bungalbin Hopper, C. aculeata R.Br. subsp. bolghinup Hopper, C. robusta Diels subsp. hickmaniae Hopper, C. dasys (Hopper) Hopper, Anigozanthos decrescens (Hopper) Hopper & R.J.Sm., A. condingupensis Hopper & R.J.Sm., A. knappiorum Hopper, A. yorlining Hopper, A. humilis Lindl. subsp. grandis Hopper, A. viridis subsp. sophrosyne Hopper, and A. viridis Endl. subsp. metallicus Hopper. We also reinstate Haemodoraceae tribe Wachendorfieae, Haemodorum subvirens F.Muell., H. leptostachyum Benth. and H. flaviflorum W.Fitzg., and make adjustments in the circumscription of subgeneric taxa in Conostylis R.Br. and Anigozanthos Labill. Notes on variation in need of further taxonomic research are provided in the checklist. With these changes Haemodoraceae is a family of two subfamilies, four tribes, 16 genera and 132 species as follows: Haemodoraceae subfamily Haemodoroideae (10 genera/51 species) comprising tribe Haemodoreae Dumort. (4/38) and tribe Wachendorfieae Dumort. (6/13), and subfamily Conostylidoideae T.Macfarlane & Hopper (6/81) comprising tribe Conostyleae Benth. (5/69) and tribe Tribonantheae T.Macfarlane & Hopper (1/12). We do not support the recent recognition of Haemodoraceae tribe Anigozantheae Z.H.Feng.
