Based on re-examination of types in conjunction with recently collected material, Goodenia pritzelii Domin is reinstated as a poorly known species from the north Kimberley region of Western Australia. Goodenia pritzelii is known only from four collections, one of which is the type, and is clearly allied to G. arachnoidea Carolin, which grows sympatrically with G. pritzelii in one location. The new species G. oenpelliensis R.L.Barrett belonging to sect. Amphichila is described, and is known from a single collection near Oenpelli in the Northern Territory. Introduction The flora of northern Australia remains relatively poorly known and undescribed species, particularly herbaceous annuals, are discovered on a regular basis (e.g. Barrett and Barrett 2015a). This largely relates to the remote nature of tropical Australia and difficulties with access during the summer monsoon when many annual species are fertile (Barrett 2015). In a paper describing three new Goodenia Sm. species from the Kimberley region of Western Australia, Barrett and Barrett (2015b) drew attention to two names of uncertain application, G. heterochila van racemosa Benth. and G. pritzelii Domin. While they suggested both are homotypic synonyms and that G. pritzelii be reinstated, they left its status unresolved until a type specimen could be examined. © 2018 Royal Botanic Gardens and Domain Trust 10 Telopea 21: 9-17, 2018 Barrett and Barrett Goodenia heterochila var. racemosa was described by Bentham (1869), who cited the type from Camden Harbour in the Kimberley region (MEL0023798). Domin (1929) later recognised this taxon at specific rank, introducing the epithet G. pritzelii to avoid the preoccupied name G. racemosa F.Muell. Although G. heterochila var. racemosa and G. pritzelii are one and the same, during his recognition of the latter, Domin, having not examined the type specimen himself, inadvertently introduced confusion in the concept of the species by citing a specimen from the Pilbara region, collected between the Ashburton and Yule Rivers {Clement s.n.). Several Clement collections from this expedition are held at K, and images were seen for this study, however it is difficult to be certain which specimen(s) Domin based his descision on, given the broad collection locality and lack of a unique collection number. The Clement collection may refer to G. microptera F.Muell. based on the silvery indumentum described by Domin (1929). A collection by W.V.Fitzgerald 93 from Port Hedland (K000215972), was initially identified as G. heterochila var. racemosa by C.A.Gardner (who probably matched it to the Clement specimen while visiting K), and was subsequently redetermined as G. microptera by R.Carolin. Another possibility is that Domin (1929) was identifying G. pritzelii with the type collection of G. lasiophylla K.Krauss (K000216037, K000216038; now treated as a synonym of G. forrestii F.Muell.); although both species bear a superficial resemblance, G. lasiophylla is readily distinguished from G. pritzelii by its prominent glandular hairs on the calyx and more prominently lobed leaves. No Goodenia specimens matching MFF0023798 are known from the Pilbara region, therefore it is unlikely that any Clement collection matches MFF0023798. The inclusion of the Clement specimen under G. pritzelii by Domin was probably based on Diels & Pritzel’s (1905) concept of G. heterochila var. racemosa who applied the name to a different specimen from the Pilbara, near Roebourne in April 1901 {Diels 2793, cited by Krause (1912) at B but the specimen cannot be located, and is therefore possibly destroyed). It is unlikely that Diels or Pritzel saw the type specimen of G. heterochila var. racemosa and more likely that they based their concepts on its original description by Bentham (1869). Following the description of G. pritzelii, Roger Carolin initially determined the MFF0023798 specimen as G. odonnellii F.Muell. in 1970, and later, he synonymized G. pritzelii with G. microptera (Carolin 1992), but without justification. We find that this specimen is neither G. odonnellii nor G. microptera based on differences in corolla shape and indumentum. Compared to G. odonnellii, the MFF0023798 specimen has sepals that are broader and an indumentum over most of the plant that is more dense; furthermore, the flowers are axillary in appearance since most bracts are large and scarcely differentiated from the leaves (though the leaves become bract-like towards the inflorescence apex), whereas G. odonnellii has a racemose inflorescence with leaf-shaped bracts. The MEF0023798 specimen has equally-winged upper corolla lobes whereas G. microptera (as well as G. maretensis) has inner wings of the upper corolla lobes reduced relative to the outer wing. As MEF0023798 does not resemble any other specimens of Goodenia, we conclude that G. heterochila var. racemosa represents a species-level taxon distinct from all other currently-recognised Goodenia species, and consequently, we reinstate G. pritzelii and provide a detailed description that differs from Domins (1929) original concept of G. pritzelii. In addition, we also provide a description of G. oenpelliensis R.F.Barrett, which is based on a collection originally incorporated under G. pumilio R.Br. While only known from a single collection, this taxon is considered sufficiently distinct from all other species of Goodenia sect. Amphichila DC. It is hoped that the descriptions of both species will encourage further collection of small annual Goodenia species in Northern Australia. Materials and Methods Measurements were made with digital callipers certified accurate to 3/100**^ mm. MEF0023798 was compared to collections of all aforementioned taxa and other possibly related Goodenia species at MET, and macro images of the type were compared with collections at CANB and PERTH. Three recent collections at PERTH from the vicinity of the type collection are a good match for the type specimen of G. heterochila var. racemosa, and corroborate our interpretation of character states. The description of G. pritzelii presented here is based on examination of the type specimen MEE0023798 (consisting of two young plants and two portions of a stem from another plant) and three more recent PERTH collections. The type specimen appears to have mostly young leaves, and while it possesses flowers, no fruit has developed, making a comprehensive description of reproductive characters impossible from this specimen alone. Fruiting material is described from more recent collections, as well as increasing the size range for other characteristics relative to the type collection. The description of G. oenpelliensis is based on the type collection, with sheets at CANB, MEL, NSW and PERTH measured to form the description.

Distribution and habitat: The type location is ‘Camden Harbour. Also known from the Sale River, Artesian Range and southern Prince Regent National Park, from sand over sandstone or sandstone pavements, often under or near rock overhangs, or in open shrubland with Buchanania oblongifolia, B. sp. West Kimberley {R.L. Barrett 1099), Calytrix aff. exstipulata, Arivela aff. tetrandra, Cyperaceae, Goodenia psammophila, Heliotropium sp., Mitrasacme nidulifera, Owenia vernicosa, Spermacoce sp., Terminalia sp. and Zorniaprostrata. Phenology: Flowering and fruiting recorded for January and May. Conservation status: Goodenia pritzelii is to be listed as Priority Two under Conservation Codes for Western Australian Flora (A. Jones, DBCA, pers. comm.). Known only from four locations, one on the edge of the Prince Regent National Park. It must be regarded as Data Deficient as the area in which it is known remains poorly surveyed (lUCN 2001). Etymology: The species epithet recognises the contribution of Ernst Georg Pritzel to the systematics of Western Australian Goodeniaceae (in Diels and Pritzel 1905). 12 Telopea 21: 9-17, 2018 Barrett and Barrett Additional specimens examined: Upper Sale River, 29 Jan 1999, M.D. Barrett MDB656 Western Australia: (CANB, DNA, K, MEL, NSW, PERTH); South arm of Bachsten Creek Gorge, 31 Jan 1999, M.D. Barrett MDB696 (PERTH); Grasswren Gully, Artesian Range, 28 May 2013, H. Dauncey H686 (PERTH). Notes: Morphological similarities suggest a relationship between G. pritzelii and G. arachnoidea Carolin for which comparative photos are presented (Fig. 2b, d, f). The two taxa share a dense hirsute indumentum of eglandular hairs, dentate to lobed and non-auriculate leaves, leafy inflorescences, long ebracteolate peduncles, linear hispid sepals, yellow corolla and thick seeds. Goodenia pritzelii has an appressed to spreading to erect indumentum of stiff hairs (vs appressed to spreading indumentum of crisped, recurved or contorted tangled hairs in G. arachnoidea); sepals distinctly flattened (vs sepals filiform to slightly flattened); indusium with a patch of short hairs on the adaxial surface (vs usually glabrous, occasionally a few hairs); indusium with a patch of short hairs on the abaxial surface (vs a long tuft of beard-like hairs on the abaxial surface). A number of other species, such as G. brachypoda (EMuell. ex Benth) Carolin, G. forrestii, G. hispida R.Br., G. muelleriana Carolin, G. odonnellii, and G. stellata Carolin are superficially similar, and have potentially been confused with G. pritzelii by earlier authors, but based on our studies, they are not closely related. G. odonnelli is ± glabrous or has a sparse (vs dense) indumentum, pedicels to 40 mm long (vs to 28 mm long), sepals 1-2 mm long (vs 2.6-5.3 mm long) and dense hairs (vs ±glabrous) in the throat of the corolla, and a characteristic indusium notched at the apex when viewed from above (vs not notched). The leaves of G. odonnellii are only dentate towards the apex, or if lobed, then more deeply lobed throughout (vs a few lobes at the base). Goodenia forrestii has more deeply-lobed leaves (vs few lobes), and glandular (vs only simple) hairs on the calyx and corolla. Goodenia muelleriana is very distinctly glandular hairy (vs only simple), has basal and cauline leaves (vs only cauline), pedicels 38-100 mm long (vs to 40 mm long), lanceolate (vs ovate to narrowly obovate) leaves, a bracteate (vs leafy) inflorescence and flowers 12-15 mm long (vs 6-9 mm long). Goodenia heterochila EMuell. is very similar in general indumentum and form, but differs by having shorter sepals and the indumentum on the outside of the corolla is much shorter (c. 0.1 vs 0.3-0.6 mm long) and the wings on the upper corolla lobes are very narrow (0.1-0.3 vs 0.45-0.7 mm wide) and unequally placed. G. stellata is superficially similar, but the indumentum is stellate (vs simple). Several species related to G. hispida and G. brachypoda are also similar, but have auriculate leaves. The non-auriculate leaves, simple, dense indumentum, relatively equal (though asymmetrical) wings on the upper corolla lobes can lead to G. odonnellii in the key provided by Carolin (1992). If the wings on the adaxial corolla lobes are interpreted as unequal (the inner wings are shorter and slightly narrower than the outer), then this species can key to G. microptera, and this may be why Carolin (1992) included it under that species. However, there are numerous differences between the type and G. microptera, especially the presence of dense glandular hairs in the latter. The vernacular name of Pritzels Goodenia is recommended. The key by Carolin (1992: Group 7) is modified to include G. pritzelii 27 Stems glabrous or glabrescent.G. nuda 27: Stems hairy.27A 27A Stems lacking glandular hairs.G. pritzelii 27A: Stems with glandular hairs .28 Goodenia oenpelliensis R.L.Barrett, sp. nov.

Seeds numerous, lenticular, 0.45-0.55 mm across, pale brown, shiny, wing very narrow, < 0.05 mm wide. Fig. 3. Distribution and habitat: The type location is in north-western Arnhem Land in the Northern Territory. The collection was made from sandy soils at the edge of a marsh’ (probably a shallow, ephemeral swamp). Phenology: Flowering and fruiting recorded for October. Conservation status: Goodenia oenpelliensis is only known from a single location and may be rare. However, since it is so small it may be not have been detected elsewhere and so should be listed as Data Deficient (lUCN 2001) until better examination of similar habitats are made. Etymology: The species epithet recognises the community of Oenpelli, in north-west Arnhem Land, where this species was collected during the National Geographic Society of America and Commonwealth Government of Australia Expedition to the Arnhem Land Aboriginal Reserve (Specht 1958). Additional specimens examined: Known only from the type collection. Notes: While preparing the description of G. cravenii R.L.Barrett & M.D.Barrett (Barrett and Barrett 2015b) and searching for additional collections of that taxon, an unusual collection incorporated under G. pumilio was found. The specimen was cited under G. pumilio by Carolin (1992), but is here designated as the type of G. oenpelliensis. Goodenia oenpelliensis shares with G. cravenii, G. kakadu Carolin, G. neogoodenia Carolin and G. pumilio the small, brownish corolla lacking wings (all but G. neogoodenia belong to sect. Amphichila sensu Carolin 1992). Goodenia oenpelliensis and G. pumilio have a superficially similar dense leaf indumentum, but G. oenpelliensis has simple hairs, while the latter has stellate hairs. Goodenia oenpelliensis appears to be morphologically closest to G. kakadu and G. cravenii, differing in its dense hairs 0.4-0.7 mm long (vs sparse hairs to 0.5 m long), broad, 4-12 mm wide (vs narrow, 1.0-2.4 mm wide), distinctly petiolate leaves (vs indistinctly petiolate), and larger seeds 0.45-0.55 mm across (vs c. 0.2 mm) with a pale, narrowly-winged margin (vs wingless). The original key by Carolin (1992), modified by Barrett & Barrett (2015), is here modified further to include G. oenpelliensis. 12. Leaves sessile .12A 12: Leaves petiolate .12B 12A.
