Abstract
Briggs, Barbara G. and Johnson, L.A.S. (Royal Botanic Gardens, Mrs Macquaries Road, Sydney, NSW 2000, Australia) 1998. New combinations arising from a new classification of non-African Restionaceae. Telopea 8(1): 21–33. New combinations are made in accord with a new, broadly based classification of extraAfrican Restionaceae. These involve 39 Australian species, of which two extend to New Guinea and the Aru Islands, and one species in each of south-east Asia, New Zealand and Chile. The name Baloskion Raf. is adopted for eight eastern Australian species excluded from Restio Rottb. and Desmocladus Nees is adopted for a group of Western Australian species mostly transferred from Loxocarya R. Br. The previously monotypic genera Meeboldina Suesseng. and Sporadanthus F. Muell. are enlarged. Most other changes involve newly described genera. Four combinations replace illegitimate epithets, two new combinations are made at subspecific rank, and lectotypes are selected for 18 taxa.
