Taxonomy

Babingtonia maleyae was first formally described in 2015 by Barbara Rye and Malcolm Trudgen in the journal Nuytsia from specimens collected east of Narrogin in 2001.[3] The specific epithet (maleyae) honours Sandra Maley, who prepared draft descriptions of many new species of Chamelaucieae.[2]

Distribution and habitat

This species is only known from a few locations near Narrogin, where it grows in sandy loam with lateritic gravel, in the Avon Wheatbelt biogeographic region of south-western Western Australia.[1][2]

Conservation status

Babingtonia maleyae is listed as "Priority Two" by the Western Australian Government Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions,[1] meaning that it is poorly known and from only one or a few locations.[4]
