Taxonomy

D. pseudaphylla was first described in 1995 by Michael Crisp.[3][4] An isotype, K000846733,[5] was collected by K. Newbey on September 8, 1978 at the junction of the Pallenorup and South Bluff tracks, in the Stirling Range National Park.[5]

It is declared an "endangered" species under the commonwealth Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act,[1] and "rare"[2] under the Western Australian Wildlife Conservation Act 1950 and now under the Biodiversity Conservation Act 2016.[6] A major threat is from dieback due to Phytophthora cinnamomi (Phytophthora dieback).[1][7]
