Abstract
An examination of the type of Leucopogon biflorus R.Br. (current name Styphelia biflora (R.Br.) Spreng.) has shown that it belongs in Styphelia setigera (R.Br.) Spreng., hence S. biflora is placed in the synonymy of S. setigera. The next available name for the taxon previously known as Styphelia biflora is Leucopogon sparsus A.Cunn. ex DC. The new combination Styphelia sparsa (A.Cunn. ex DC.) A.R.Bean is made here. A lectotype is chosen for both Leucopogon sparsus and L. setiger R.Br.
