THE PHYLICA REVISION
THE PHYLICA REVISION
◦ Peter Linder, Serge Haemmerli & Dave Underwood
◦ Serge did a lot of the detailed descriptions while he was doing his thesis - so there is a good base and there is also some genetic work under the belt.
Peter and I have since done hundreds of additional descriptions
◦ We are working on the key at the moment and how best to group the species
◦ There are a number of species in the Pillans revision which will probably be lumped. Habitat differences result in wide differences of leaf size and habit – but flower details seem to be reasonably consistent
◦ Several new species – maybe 10 to 20 – will be checking these in Q4 this year at the Herb
◦ Trying to collect and photograph as many species as possible. Some of the more inaccessible species still remain to be located.
◦ Should be able to finalize a draft early next year?
