Stylidium sect. Tenella

Stylidium section Tenella is a taxonomic rank in the plant kingdom under Stylidium subgenus Andersonia. In 2000, A.R. Bean published a taxonomic revision of subgenus Andersonia and established this section to separate these eleven species based on morphological and cladistic analysis. This taxonomic rank is named after George Bentham's series Tenellae, which he established in his 1869 treatment of the family Stylidiaceae. Series Tenellae was not used in Johannes Mildbraed's 1908 taxonomic monograph in which he completely revised the subgeneric taxonomy of the genus. Mildbraed's treatment of the genus taxonomy is the general demarcation which has been used in subsequent revisions and additions.[1]
