Undescribed Possible New Species
by Andre Leu, Queensland,
Australia
These pictures are of a small undescribed
species from Normanton that I thought were N. hastifolia.
This species is only known from two sites. It is larger than
N. hastifolia and smaller than N. violacea. The
flowers are more stellate than N. elleniae.

The most interesting taxonomic feature
are the beige anthers and the dull crimson stigmatic cup. The
stamens and stigmatic cup are yellow in all described Anecphya.
The flowers are usually around 2 inches wide with 4 inch leaves,
however they sometime reach 4 inches with 6 inch leaves. |
