Abstract

The status of two putative new species of Wahlenbergia sympatric on the New England Tableland escarpment was investigated with morphometric analyses of a database derived from vegetative, floral and fruit characters and scanning electron microscopic studies of seeds. The following new species are described: W. rupicola G.T.Plunkett & J.J.Bruhl and W. telfordii G.T.Plunkett & J.J.Bruhl. Their distributions, habitats and conservation status are noted.
