Abstract
Evaluation of a specimen of Ptilotus R.Br. (Amaranthaceae), collected from a remote location in the northern Kimberley, reveals it to be a unique taxonomic entity. The morphological differences between this entity and its closest relatives P. distans (R.Br.) Poir. and P. capensis (Benl) A.R.Bean are discussed and found to support its recognition as the new species Ptilotus crinitus T.Hammer & R.W.Davis. An identification key is given for the three species.
