TL;DR: Preparation of a treatment of the Santalaceae for the forthcoming revised Flora of South Australia has necessitated the description of a new subspecies of C. spicatum F.Muell.
Abstract: Choretrum spicatum subsp. continentale Lepschi is described as new. Notes on distinguishing this taxon from C. spicatum F.Muell. subsp. spicatum are provided, and both taxa are illustrated. The genus Choretrum R.Br. comprises approximately eight species distributed throughout southern temperate Australia, and is currently under revision by the author.
