Limonium australe var. baudinii (Lincz.) A.M.Gray, a new combination in Plumbaginaceae

Linczevski (1986) distinguished Limonium baudinii Lincz. from L. australe (R.Br.) Kuntze by its having glabrous as opposed to hairy calyces along the ridges. Linczevski (1986) considered L. baudinii to be confined to Tasmania and L. australe to New South Wales, Victoria and Tasmania. Walsh (1996), in the Flora of Victoria, did not consider L. baudinii to be sufficiently distinct from L. australe to warrant recognition. He noted a specimen from Point Lonsdale (collected before 1900) that had flowers with glabrous calyces as well as flowers with hairy calyces.
