Actephila lindleyi
Yesterday
Jon @jonvanbeest . Good evening !

Regarding the species name _Actephila lindleyi_ .
Updates to this genus have shown this species name does not occur in this continent Au.
As the species in this continent has been recognised as different from the type specimen of _A. lindleyi_ .
The name now for this species in Au: _Actephila mooreana_ .

This scholarly taxonomy published article:
Heijkoop, M. & Welzen, P.C. van (2017)
A revision of the genus _Actephila_ (Phyllanthaceae) in the Malesian region.
Blumea 62 : 7–25 .

Says:
“_Actephila mooreana_ is to be recognized as an accepted species and not a synonym of _A. lindleyi_ . The latter species does not occur in Australia…” .

Dear Tapirlord, Thank you for your identification of Micrantheum, as I had no idea where to begin. However, with the greatest respect, I would query the species identification. The flowers are very small and mostly singly, or in twos, along the stem. They do not look like the flower clusters on M. hexandrum as shown on Naturemapr. The three tiny "petals" look much more like the illustrations of M. ericoides. The cluster of 4 buds in my photo is perhaps misleading as most of the flowers are singles or pairs, often spread along the stem.
