Acknowledgments 
Thanks go to the many people who assisted the study of Restionaceae over the years. 
Carolyn Porter, Siegfried Krauss, Barbara Wiecek, Louisa Murray, Anna-Louise 
Quirico, Vivian Shanker and others gave technical help. David Mackay prepared the 
illustrations and Peter Wilson advised on the Latin diagnoses. The opportunity to 
examine specimens on loan or in other herbaria assisted the work. Cooperation and 
joint fieldwork with John Pate (University of Western Australia), and Kathy Meney 
and Kingsley Dixon (Kings Park and Botanic Garden, Perth) gave valuable insights, as 
did associated DNA sequencing studies with Adam Marchant, Simon Gilmore and 
Carolyn Porter. Grants from the Australian Research Council and Australian 
Biological Resources Study supported part of the study.
