Abstract  The circumscription of Carmichaelia is emended to accommodate Chordospartium, Corallospartium, and Notospartium following the recommendations made in a recent phylogenetic study of the group. Accordingly, Carmichaelia crassicaule is reinstated and the following new combinations are made: Carmichaelia carmichaeliae, Carmichaelia glabrescens, Carmichaelia muritai, Carmichaelia stevensonii, and Carmichaelia torulosa. A dichotomous key is presented to the 23 species of Carmichaelia that are indigenous to New Zealand. Natural and garden-originated interspecific hybrids of Carmichaelia are also listed and briefly described.

Keywords  Fabaceae; Galegeae; Carmichaelia; Chordospartium; Corallospartium; Notospartium; taxonomy; new combinations; hybrids; dichotomous key; New Zealand flora
