This manuscript is dedicated to Lorraine Cobb who died in 2008 and whose excellent illustrations are an integral part of this paper. Lorraine’s enthusiastic and inspiring contributions to the student practical classes at the University of Western Australia, Department of Botany, and her extensive illustrations and taxonomic input for keys for Blackall and Grieve’s books ‘How to Know Western Australian Wildflowers Part 2’, are important contributions to the understanding of Western Australian Flora. Sincere thanks go to Australian Biological Resources Study, the US National Science Foundation (DEB 0344009) and to the [Western Australian] Department of Environment and Conservation (Specific Nature Conservation Projects), now Department of Parks and Wildlife, for funding allocated to complete this research. Additional assistance and provision of facilities are appreciated from PERTH herbarium director and staff and the School of Plant Biology at the University of Western Australia. Thanks also go to AD, BM, BRI, CANB, DNA, K, MEL, MO, NSW, P, PR and W for loan of specimens, to the ABLO Barry Conn for assistance with loan of type specimens from K and BM, and to the late Jenny Chappill, Kelly Shepherd, Ian Cowie, Clemens Bayer, Brendan Lepschi, an anonymous reviewer, journal editorial staff and Gordon Guymer, for helpful comments on the manuscript, and to Paul Wilson, Kevin Thiele and the late Gillian Perry for nomenclatural assistance, to Kelly Shepherd and Juliet Wege for able assistance with figure preparation and field work, to Allan Tinker, Andrew Ford, Grace Lithgow, Troy Sinclair, Lachlan Copeland, Betsy Jackes, Rob Gegg, Mary Squires and Wispey Bailey for specimen collection, to Ryonen Butcher, Stephen van Leeuwen, Malcolm Trudgen, Brian Moyle, Ainsley Calladine, Kim Kershaw, Raimond Orifici, Tim Willing, P. Foulkes (deceased), J. Martin, D. Duncan, E. Bennett, Ian Telford, Bob Makinson and especially John, Stuart, Robert and Genevieve Wilkins for fieldwork assistance and companionship.

N2 - Seringia J.Gay and Keraudrenia J.Gay are widely spread in Australia, and one species occurs in Madagascar. Revision of these closely related genera suggested that neither genus is monophyletic on the basis of morphological or preliminary molecular data. As a result, Keraudrenia is subsumed into Seringia. There are now 20 species of Seringia, including the currently accepted type species Seringia platyphylla J.Gay (=Seringia arborescens (W.T.Aiton) Druce). Five new species S. adenogyna C.F.Wilkins, S. cacaobrunnea C.F.Wilkins, S. elliptica C.F.Wilkins, S. undulata C.F.Wilkins and S. saxatilis C.F.Wilkins are described. Four species of Keraudrenia initially described as Seringia and recognised as the latter by F. J. H. von Mueller are reinstated (S. adenolasia F.Muell., S. corollata Steetz, S. lanceolata Steetz, S. nephrosperma F.Muell.). Five previous combinations of Keraudrenia and Seringia as Seringia are recognised (S. hermanniifolia (J.Gay) F.Muell., S. hillii (Benth.) F.Muell., S. hookeriana (Walp.) F.Muell., S. integrifolia (Steud.) F.Muell., S. velutina (Steetz) F.Muell.) and five new combinations are made (S. collina (Domin) C.F.Wilkins & Whitlock, S. denticulata (C.T.White) C.F.Wilkins & Whitlock, S. exastia (C.F.Wilkins) C.F.Wilkins & Whitlock, S. katatona (C.F.Wilkins) C.F.Wilkins & Whitlock, S. macrantha (Baill.) C.F.Wilkins & Whitlock. Keraudrenia collina var. multiflora Domin is placed in synonymy under S. nephrosperma F.Muell. Keraudrenia corollata var. denticulata C.T.White is recognised as a distinct species, S. denticulata (C.T.White) C.F.Wilkins & Whitlock. Anatomical studies, taxonomic descriptions, distribution maps, illustrations and identification keys are presented for Seringia, and an identification key to genera of the tribe Lasiopetaleae is provided.
