List Of Extinct Flora Of Australia
This is a list of recently extinct flora of Australia, that is plants that are considered to have become extinct since the European colonisation of Australia in 1788. Within Australia there are mechanisms for registering an extinction at the federal, state and territory levels. Federal and state listings may vary due to Local extinction, regional extinctions or because of differing definitions of extinction in the various pieces of legislation. Plants listed as extinct by the federal government Plants and animals are listed as extinct and the federal level under the auspices of the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999. The Act lists all plants considered to have become extinct since the commencement of European settlement of Australia in 1788. There are 37 species currently listed as extinct under the Act. Of note, the species Pimelea spinescens subsp. pubiflora, ''Pimelea spinescens'' subsp. ''pubiflora'' was presumed extinct after 1901, but a population ...

Leucopogon Cryptanthus
''Leucopogon cryptanthus'', commonly known as small-flowered leucopogon, is a species of flowering plant in the heath family Ericaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It is slender, diffuse, much-branched shrub that typically grows to a height of about . Its leaves are erect and linear, long, rigid and sharply pointed. The few flowers are small and inconspicuous, arranged singly, in short spikes or in clusters at the ends of branches in cymes with leaf-like bracts and bracteoles at the base. The sepals are less than long, the petals joined at the base, forming a tube shorter than the sepals, the petal lobes about as long as the petal tube. The species was first formally described in 1868 by George Bentham in '' Flora Australiensis'' from specimens collected by James Drummond in the Swan River Colony. The specific epithet In taxonomy, binomial nomenclature ("two-term naming system"), also called nomenclature ("two-name naming system") or binary ...

Lemmaphyllum Accedens
''Lemmaphyllum'' is a genus of ferns in the family Polypodiaceae, subfamily Microsoroideae, according to the Pteridophyte Phylogeny Group classification of 2016 (PPG I). Taxonomy ''Lemmaphyllum'' was first described by Carl Presl in 1851. A molecular phylogenetic study in 2019 suggested that ''Lemmaphyllum'' was one of a group of closely related genera in the subfamily Microsoroideae; a group the authors termed "''Lepisorus'' sensu lato". Species , the ''Checklist of Ferns and Lycophytes of the World'' recognized the following species: *''Lemmaphyllum carnosum'' (Wall. ex J.Sm.) C.Presl *''Lemmaphyllum diversum'' (Rosenst.) Tagawa *''Lemmaphyllum drymoglossoides'' (Baker) Ching *''Lemmaphyllum microphyllum'' C.Presl *''Lemmaphyllum rostratum'' (Bedd.)

Hymenophyllum Whitei
''Hymenophyllum'' is a genus of ferns in the family Hymenophyllaceae. Its name means "membranous leaf", referring to the very thin translucent tissue of the fronds, which gives rise to the common name filmy fern for this and other thin-leaved ferns. The leaves are generally only one cell thick and lack stomata, making them vulnerable to desiccation. Consequently, they are found only in very humid areas, such as in moist forests and among sheltered rocks. They are small and easy to overlook. Species , World Ferns accepted the following extant species: *'' Hymenophyllum abruptum'' Hook. *''Hymenophyllum acanthoides'' (Bosch) Rosenst. *'' Hymenophyllum acutum'' (C.Presl) Ebihara & K.Iwats. *''Hymenophyllum adiantoides'' Bosch *'' Hymenophyllum aeruginosum'' (Poir.)

Frankenia Decurrens
''Frankenia'' (sea heath) is the only genus in the Frankeniaceae family of flowering plants. Other genera have been recognized within the family, such as ''Anthobryum'', ''Hypericopsis'' and ''Niederleinia'', but molecular phylogenetic studies have consistently shown that they all belong inside ''Frankenia''. ''Frankenia'' comprises about 70–80 species of shrubs, subshrubs and herbaceous plants, adapted to saline and dry environments throughout temperate and subtropical regions. A few species are in cultivation as ornamental plants. Description ''Frankenia'' species are salt tolerant (halophytic) or drought tolerant (xerophytic) shrubs, subshrubs or herbaceous plants. They have opposite, simple leaves, generally small and somewhat heather-like, and often with salt-excreting glands in sunken pits. Their flowers are small, either solitary or borne in various kinds of cyme. Each flower has four to seven sepals, joined at the base into a tube, and four to seven overlapping petals ...
