Abstract:

A review of the Australasian genus Lembophyllum is presented. The two species recognized, L. clandestinum and L. divulsum, are illustrated and a key is provided, along with an evaluation of the characters that separate them and notes on their ecology and distribution. L. divulsum differs from L. clandestinum in being a smaller plant, with narrower branches. L. divulsum has leaves that are as wide as long (they are wider than long in L. clandestinum), and the cells at the basal and lateral margins are quadrate in L. divulsum and linear-rhombic in L. clandestinum.
