Abstract
The Brachyscome microcarpa complex, including B. whitei, is taxonomically revised. B. discolor C.Stuart ex Benth. is reinstated, B. whitei G.L.Davis (formerly B. whitei subsp. whitei) is retained, and B. microcarpa F.Muell. is retained with a narrower circumscription. B. pedleyi A.R.Bean sp. nov. (formerly B. whitei subsp. lophoptera), B. stenoloba A.R.Bean sp. nov. (formerly B. microcarpa subsp. darlingensis) and B. vegrandis A.R.Bean sp. nov. are newly described. All species are illustrated by images and distribution maps are provided, as is a key to the species of the complex.
