Taxonomy and naming

Cryptandra triplex was first formally described in 2006 by Jürgen Kellermann in the journal Austrobaileya from an unpublished description by Kevin Thiele of specimens collected by Lyndley Craven near east Jabiru in 1981.[1][2] The specific epithet (triplex) means "threefold", referring to the 3 carpels in the ovary.[1]

Distribution and habitat

This cryptandra grows in shrubland and woodland on sandstone plateaux and rock outcrops, and is only known from Nitmiluk and Kakadu National Parks.[1][3]
