Abstract Eight species are recognised in the second part of a
revision of Carmichaelia. These are C. appressa, C.
arborea, C. australis, C. hollowayi, C. kirkii, C.
odorata, C. petriei, and C. williamsii. Carmichaelia
arborea is the earliest name for plants previously known as C.
grandiflora. Carmichaelia odorata includes C. angustata and
C. glabrata in synonymy, and C. australis is the earliest name
for the widespread shrubby broom which previous authors have segregated into
numerous species, including C. aligera, C. flagelliformis, C.
ovata, and C. robusta.
Synonymy, descriptions, distribution maps, habitats, variation, and
illustrations are presented. Conservation status is discussed for C.
appressa, C. hollowayi, C. kirkii, and C.
williamsii.
