TY - JOUR AU - TAYLOR, JOAN, M. AB - Abstract Hitherto Bentleya has been a monotypic genus known from a restricted area in south-west Western Australia. This paper describes a second species which was discovered recently in the same region. The new species differs from B. spinescens in its remarkable habit but shares with it several floral characters which are unique within the family. Taxonomy REFERENCES Beard , J. S. 1979 .
