Putative new taxon: Prostanthera sp. Mangrove Creek (D.S. Gibbons NE 49860) R.L.Palsson
The single known gathering of this putative new taxon was collected from the currently inundated Mangrove Creek Dam site, 19 km SW of the Olney State Forest site. This specimen shares leaf size, leaf shape and floral prophyll characters with P. milleri . In the material from the Mangrove Creek Dam site, the floral bracts are wider with a blunt apex unlike the attenuate apex on scutiform floral bracts in Olney State Forest material. We consider this plant to represent a distinct species and as such, has been excluded from the description and range of P. milleri .
