Abstract
A rare, new tetraploid Atriplex, restricted to two populations ~30 km apart in arid Western Australia, is supported as a distinct species by morphological and molecular evidence. Genetic analyses using amplified fragment length polymorphisms (AFLPs) showed significant genetic divergence between the two populations. In contrast, an ordination based on elliptic Fourier descriptors for leaf and bracteole shape did not identify any consistent morphological differentiation. Although the level of genetic differentiation is similar to that previously reported between subspecies in other Atriplex, the populations of the new taxon are described herein as A. yeelirrie K.A.Sheph. & K.R.Thiele, without taxonomic recognition at the intraspecific level. We outline our reasoning for this decision and discuss the implications for appropriate conservation management of the species, structured into two genetically distinct populations.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
