Abstract
Nine species are recognised in the first part of a revision of Carmichaelia. These are C. astonii, C. compacta, C. corrugata, C. curta, C. juncea, C. monroi, C. nana, C. uniflora, and C. vexillata. C. juncea and C. nana have priority over several later names, and C. vexillata is a new species segregated from C. monroi. Synonymy, descriptions, distribution maps, habitat, variation, and illustrations are presented for all taxa. Conservation status is discussed for C. astonii, C. compacta, C. curta, and C. juncea.
