A taxonomic revision of Lagenophora Cass. (Asteraceae) in Australia

The genus Lagenophora Cass. is taxonomically revised for Australia with 12 species recognised from Western Australia, South Australia, Queensland, New South Wales, Australian Capital Territory, Victoria and Tasmania. Nine species are endemic to Australia and three also occur elsewhere. Lagenophora adenosa Jian Wang ter & A.R.Bean and L. platysperma Jian Wang ter & A.R.Bean are newly described; L. gunniana Steetz and L. latifolia Hook.f. are reinstated; L. montana Hook.f. is newly recognised for South Australia; L. sublyrata (Cass.) A.R.Bean & Jian Wang ter is a new combination (based on Ixauchenus sublyratus Cass.); and L. gracilis Steetz is reinstated in its original (geographically restricted) sense. All of the 12 species are fully described and seven species are illustrated. Notes are provided on the Australian distribution of all species (including maps), habitat and proposed conservation status. Identification keys are provided for Australia and for each state.
