Grevillea gilmourii Olde and G. milleriana Olde (Proteaceae: Grevilleoideae: Hakeinae), two species newly described from New South Wales
View through CrossRef
Grevillea gilmourii Olde and G. milleriana Olde, two species new to science, are described. They are putative
members of the Aspleniifolia/Hookeriana Subgroup of the Grevillea Pteridifolia Group. Grevillea gilmourii is
separated from G. macleayana (McGill) Olde & Marriott where it had previously been treated as the ‘Deua
form’, a geographically disjunct, divided-leaf variant. The separate formal recognition of G. gilmourii here
necessitates a revised delineation of G. macleayana to restrict it to populations with undivided leaves only,
incorporating recent clarification to terminology in relation to leaf lobing. Grevillea milleriana is a recent
discovery from the Maddens Plains area, south of Sydney. Known from a single plant, its recognition as a
biological species rather than as a self-sown hybrid is discussed. All three species are linked morphologically
and historically to the Victorian species G. barklyana F.Muell. ex Benth., which remains taxonomically
unaltered from recent treatments. For the sake of convenience, all four species (G. barklyana, G. macleayana,
G. gilmourii and G. milleriana) are grouped informally into an alliance, the Grevillea barklyana alliance, for
which diagnostic characters are outlined and two identification keys are given. Both newly described species
have divided leaves and are known from only small populations. Conservation recommendations are provided
for both new species.

Grevillea milleriana is a recent
