Telford, I.R.H. & Naaykens, J. (10 March 2015), Synostemon hamersleyensis (Phyllanthaceae), a new species endemic to the Pilbara, Western Australia. Nuytsia 25: 32-36, Figs 1, 2 (map) [tax. nov.]
  • Type: "north-west of Newman, Western Australia [precise locality withheld for conservation reasons], 7 November 2012, J. Naaykens J969 - 11 - 12 (holo: PERTH 08423032; iso: CANB, L, NE)."
taxonomic synonym: Sauropus sp. Koodaideri detritals (J.Naaykens & J.Hurter JH11213) WA Herbarium [n/a]
  • Etymology: "This epithet refers to the Hamersley Range, to which the species is restricted. This mountainous area of Proterozoic sedimentary ranges and plateaux dissected by gorges is the jewel in the Pilbara crown of landforms. Highly significant within the arid lands of Western Australia, the Hamersley Range provides unique biological habitats and refugia, and consequently is an important zone of endemism and biodiversity (Pepper et al. 2008 [i.e. Pepper, M., Doughty, P., Arculus, R. & Keogh, J.S. (2008). Landforms predict phylogenetic structure on one of the world’s most ancient surfaces. BMC Evolutionary Biology 8: 152])."
