Homoranthus A.Cunn. ex Schauer, an Australian endemic genus of shrubs in the Myrtaceae, is reviewed. A total of 31 species is recognised for the genus, including the following eight new species which are here described for the first time: H. bebo L.M.Copel., H. brevistylis L.M.Copel., H. bruhlii L.M.Copel., H. clarksonii L.M.Copel., H. cummingii L.M.Copel, H. elusus L.M.Copel., H. inopinatus L.M.Copel., J.Holmes & G.Holmes and H. vagans L.M.Copel. H. bornhardtiensis J.T.Hunter is synonymised under H. prolixus Craven & S.R.Jones. A key to identify all species of Homoranthus is provided and notes are given on the phenology, distribution, habitat, conservation status and distinguishing features of each species. The distribution of all species of Homoranthus is mapped and illustrations are provided for each of the eight new species.
