Grevillea buxifolia (Proteaceae: Grevilleoideae) revisited

The taxonomic web of the Grey Spider Flower: Grevillea buxifolia (Proteaceae)

“…Te/apea 7 (1): 1996 Where appropriate, the characters employed by McGillivray (1993) and Olde and Marriott (1994a) were included in the data set. In total, twenty-four floral and eleven foliar characters were measured (Appendix 1).…”

“…Intermediates occur between races 'b' and 'c', 'b' and 'd', and 'c' and 'd' (McGillivray 1993). However, the morphologically extreme races, 'c' and Ie', occur sympatrically at a number of locations, without apparent signs of interbreeding (McGillivray 1993;Olde and Marriott 1994a;pers. obs.).…”

“…Olde and Marriott (1993a, b;1994a, b, c;1995) have revised a number of taxa that had been previously regarded by McGillivray as subspecies or forms. Olde and Marriott (1994a) Thus, as the taxonomy currently stands, G. buxifolia comprises three subspecies: buxifolia, ecorniculata and phylicoides -each with one or two forms -and with some intermediates. Grevillea buxifolia appears to be most closely allied to both G. sphacelata and G. acerata.…”

Recognition of new taxa in Grevillea (Proteaceae: Grevilleoideae) from south-west Western Australia

“…Two taxa, G. hislopii and G. althoferorum subsp. fragilis P.M.Olde & N.R.Marriott, were discovered after completion of three recent revisions of the genus (McGillivray & Makinson 1993;Olde & Marriott 1994a, 1994b, 1994c, 1995bMakinson 2000). Olde and Marriott (1995a: 70) informally recognised a 'small-conflorescence form' in Grevillea bracteosa Meisn.which has been included in subsp.…”

Grevillea bipinnatifida subsp. pagna (Proteaceae), a new subspecies from south-west Western Australia

“…McGillivray & Makinson (1993) considered this subspecies as one of the many variations of Grevillea bipinnatifida. Olde & Marriott (1995) recognised this subspecies as the 'prostrate green-leaved form' within the variable Grevillea bipinnatifida R.Br. This subspecies appears to be distinct with leaf lobes much narrower than in the other variant of Grevillea bipinnatifida encountered (Figure 1).…”
